Description nospam101012 2012-06-01 21:23:08 UTC 
Attention, I am using v3.3.0.

Hello, I have netbook screen and really need to use Fullscreen. I also need to use Find/Replace a lot. Find/Replace however does not work in Fullscreen. 
Please fix this! Thank you!

On a side note, in Calc, the bug that selecting several rows or columns with the keyboard leads to uncontrolled selection for up to a minute of hundreds of rows or columns seems still not completely fixed in 3.3.0 at least. It used to be worse in previous versions, but it is still there. If it has not been fixed in 3.4, you really will have to take a look at this again. 

On a third note, Open Office installs in a version specific folder, mentioning the version in its path. This is extremely bad for e.g. configured backup schemes etc. Could you please leave the path untouched in future updates, i.e. without a changing version number in it? Thanks for that, too.

Other than that, thanks for Open Office, I like it and recommend it a lot.

For the search/replace feature in fullscreen, this should be a enhancement, so sugguest you change this bug type to enhancement.

For this i think it is OK, if you have any thought welcome to open a enhancement bug, and we can talk about this in that bug.

In case you missed it: the full-screen toolbar does include the "quick search" widget, so you can at least do a search.

I agree, though, it would be nice if full-screen was more functional for editing.
