In the "Find & Replace" dialog in libreoffice, the right click "replace with" option is limited to only the "ubuntu" font

[wvarner]

To reproduce:
1. open libreoffice writer
2. go to "Find & Replace"
3. right click "replace with" field and choose "special character"

Expected result:
-- The "special characters" dialog pops up and you can pick any font from which to choose a special character from.

Actual result:
-- The "special characters" dialog pops up, but the font drop down box is set to the "ubuntu" font, and it is shaded out so that it can't be changed.

WORKAROUND: After the text has been replaced, highlight the desired text and change the font.

Still a bug on 14.10 with LibreOffice 4.2.4.

The font choice will be limited to whatever font you have set for the UI (for example, it is limited to Segoe UI when LibreOffice runs under Windows). This is not a bug, as it doesn't make sense to change the font when you're choosing a character to be inserted in a field that doesn't support changing the font.
