​Wonderful work, Christian ; we users are in your debt and that of all the
developers !​

​I am particularly glad to see that the «Find and replace»​ button has
become part of the standard toolbar setup i Writer ; I have always meant to
ask why this most useful feature was not given the priority (I thought) it
deserved - but now, at last, it has !...
