"Go to next placeholder field" bind doesn't work in size-modification protected frames.

As said in Summary, "Go to next substitute field" bind (which I binded to F4 in the Personalization tab, Tools menu) doesn't work in size-modification protected frames THAT HAS a carriage return in it but doesn't auto resize (which means the cursor in "lost" under the limits of the frame). Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a frame, DONT ACTIVATE auto-resizing (in "Size", "Type" tab). 2. IN MY CASE, frame has Size and Position protections in "Options" tab 3. Select a line UNDER THIS FRAME, and insert a "Substitute" field there (Substituant in french) [Ctrl-F2, Fuctions tab, "Substituant"]. NB: In my case, the substitute is in another frame himself! 4. Bind a key to "To the next Substitute", in Tools -> Personalize (in my case, F4). 5. Edit the frame, push Enter until you put the cursor "outside" the frame (in facts in it, but outside it's height limit (don't forget to have "auto-resize" unchecked)). 5. Push F4 Actual result: Nothing happens. Expected result: The next substitute is selected. Thank you for working on OOo. We'll never say it enough.
MRU->ES: sounds like this deals with placeholder fields and the possibility to configure navigation between this fields in "Tools.Customize" dialog.
well, it looks for the next substitute inside your new frame, and therefore nothing happens, since you don't have substitutes there inside that frame. one thing you can do is to click ouside your newly created frame, and press your button again. well, a macro that checks whether the cursor is inside the frame, and based on that either moves to the next substitute, or gets out of the frame and moves to the next substitute can be assigned to F4, but such a macro needs to be created first. =)
As stated: the function look for the *next* placeholder. If your cursor is below the unique placeholder, there is no "next" one to find.
