Description tombil 2013-04-29 15:39:32 UTC

Try the following:
- create a new empty writer-document
- place a text:  text text text text 
- run the following Basic code:

oDesc = ThisComponent.createReplaceDescriptor()
oDesc.SearchString = "text"  ' find for string "text"
oFoundAll = ThisComponent.findAll(oDesc)   ' find all occurences 
msgbox oFoundAll.count   ' get 4 occurences 
ThisComponent.getCurrentController.select(oFoundAll())  ' select all occurences 
' You'll see there's only 3 occurences of collection oFoundAll is selected,
' the cursor is placed on end of first occurence of "text" string, without highlight

This behaviour has several unnatural consequenses:
1. the clipboard/transferable-content will not be the same if one tries to work
with it after performing a selection
2. more complicated and causing uncertainty in the mass processing of selected texts

This issue occurs with OOo 3.4.1., with OOo 3.2.0 works good.

same problem in aoo4 rev. 1476029 - select(oFoundAll())  ignores oFoundAll(0) 
it's still posible to loop over the four ranges
