Fixes #1508
In
master
as soon as you edit a document in a way that results in a "selection_changed" signal being emitted (e.g. copy, cut , paste, select etc) the current search term is lost so has to be re-entered to search for the next occurrence, which is most annoying.This PR results in the search term persisting until a new search is intentionally started by pressing
Control + F
or by editing the search bar or by revealing the search bar. Making a new selection in the document no longer replaces the search term in the searchbar unless the search term is blank. If you want to select a new search term then it is necessary to pressEsc
or otherwise clear the current search first. There does not seem to be a way of automatically detecting whether a text selection in the document is incidental or meant to be a new search term.
