Description Jon Kåre Hellan 2007-11-29 09:27:49 UTC 
Edit/Find
Click inside range field of search center
Select a range in the sheet
Nothing happens

Range selection does work in some other dialogs, e.g. Data/Sort.
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-11-30 22:56:17 UTC 
This seems to be intentional:

.....

#ifdef USE_GURU
	/* Only one guru per workbook. */
	if (wbc_gtk_get_guru (wbcg))
		return;
#endif

......

#ifdef USE_GURU
	wbc_gtk_attach_guru_with_unfocused_rs (wbcg, GTK_WIDGET (dialog), dd->rangetext);
#endif


....

Since USE_GURU is not defined, you don't get its benefits.

The search dialog doubles as a technology test center.  In this, there is
nothing to keep you from having multiple search dialogs.  (And the dialog
is non-model.)

There ought to be a way for us to attach a range selector that would get
activated when the dialog gets focus.  Right now we only have the guru
way of doing that.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
