--- Comment #3 from Brandner <florian.brand...@telecom-paristech.fr> --- Some additional observations: - the selection is correctly copied into the text field on the first search - the selection is correctly copied into the text field when alternating between different modes of the search bar (e.g., CTRL-F then CTRL-R then again CTRL-F). The problem appears to be in the method KateNormalInputMode::searchBar. On the first search, the selection is copied into the text field within the constructor of KateSearchBar, which actually invokes KateSearchBar::enterIncrementalMode. On subsequent searches, the constructor is not called anymore. Consequently, KateSearchBar::enterIncrementalMode is not invoked unless the mode variable switches between the "power" and "incremental" search modes. Calling KateSearchBar::enterIncrementalMode within GDB at this moment fixes the problem. So, an obvious fix might be to always invoke KateSearchBar::enterIncrementalMode/ KateSearchBar::enterPowerMode independent from mode changes? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
