Description igodard 2003-04-21 17:31:36 UTC 
When the cursor is in the replacement text of a Search/Replace menu it should accept anything that can be put into regular document text. However, if you Insert->Field-User Variable (or other field) at that point, the operation silently does nothing instead of inserting the field in the replacement text.

There should be a workaround: place the replacement text (including the field) in scratch space in the document and cut/paste the text to the replace menu. Unfortunately, while that should work, in fact a different bug (reported separately) causes the resulting replacement text to be the expansion of the field rather than the field itself.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
