             Summary: Editor Search String lost
                 Key: NETBEANS-1220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1220
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: editor - Search
    Affects Versions: 9.0
            Reporter: Bernard


Problem Description

I use the following out of two options:

In Tools|Options|Editor|Search|Editor Search Behavor|Enter find next

With this option enabled, I need to press [Esc] to locate the cursor at the 
first instance, meaning that I do NOT use the [Enter] key. Unfortunately this 
use results in the search string not being pushed into the search history list 
where I type the search string. Therefore, the search string cannot be looked 
in future searches up from the search string combo box.

How to reproduce:

- In Tools|Options|Editor|Search|Editor Search Behavor|Enter find next
- locate the cursor at the top of a Java file
- [Ctrl+F]java[Esc] locates the cursor at the first instance of "java", 
typically in the import section
- [Ctrl+F]util[Esc] locates the cursor at the first instance of "util", 
typically in the import section

Expected behavior:
- [Ctrl+F][Down] should find the string "java" in the list 

Actual behavior:
- [Ctrl+F][Down] shows a list with the string "java" missing from the list 

This means that the Editor Search Behavior option "Enter find next" is 
crippled, and it is difficult to create a harmonious work flow while 
refactoring code. In simple terms, it is frustrating.
