This bug was replicated on a Windows 2000 system.  This occurs when we 
try to use the ‘Backwards’ Option in the ‘Find’ Feature.   Whenever any word is 
being searched using the backwards option, the writer doesnÂ’t highlight the 
particular word correctly.  Also we noticed that if the word that we are 
searching for starts from the first column in any part of the document, the 
writer eventually crashes.  The sequence of steps for replicating the bug are:

a)	Open the open office document and type in the word ‘Test’(for example) 
starting from the first column.
b)	Go to the ‘Find & Replace’ Option in the ‘Edit’ menu and select 
the ‘backwards’ option.
c)	Type in the word ‘Test’ in the ‘Search For’ Text Box and press the 
button ‘Find’.

        As we can see, the writer highlights incorrectly and if we continue to 
press ‘Find’  button, eventually the writer crashes and closes itself. This bug 
occurs whenever the word to be found is starting from the first column 
(irrespective of its position in the document and the document size) and 
results in the crash of the writer.
