Hi all,

I just installed 2.4 Alpha 2 on Linux Mint 20.1 using Liv's repo. Since there's been some discussion of "find next" (or "find again") on the user list, I thought I'd give it a try. It seems to be slightly broken in 2.4 (okay in 2.3.6.1).

Test process:

1. Open a document.
2. Use Ctrl-F to open the find/replace dialog. Enter a term known to
   occur more than once in the doc. Click "Find Next".
3. With no further mouse clicks (so that focus remains on the
   find/replace dialog, and the search term remains highlighted in the
   dialog), type Alt+N. Expected behavior: the next occurrence of the
   search word is highlighted.

With 2.3.6.1, this works as expected. The search term remains highlighted in the dialog, there is a visual cue that the Find Next button is selected, and in the document window each Alt+N proceeds to the next instance of the search term.

With 2.4 Alpha 2, typing Alt+N toggles between highlighting the search term and selecting the Find Next button in the dialog. (These happened simultaneously in 2.3.6.1.) Importantly, the first occurrence of the search term in the document remains selected; no search for the next occurrence happens. Clicking the Find Next button does locate the next occurrence.

Paul
