Description of problem: If "Find backwards" option is checked before searching, "Find next F3" doesn't work as expected while "Find Previous Shift+F3" does its job. If it's unchecked, the opposite happens. Put it another way, repeatedly search can only be done forwards. This is very inconvenient when repeatedly backwards search is wanted especially in a large file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.5.3-0.3.fc5 kdebase-3.5.3-0.2.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a test file for i in `seq 10`; do echo "line$i" >> test; done 2. Open "test" using kwrite or kate 3. Go to bottom and search(Ctrl+F) "line" with "Find backwards" option checked. Then press F3 to find next. Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: "line" in line9 should be highlighted Additional info: Other editors like kedit and vi support repeatedly backwards search pretty well.
Kwrite and kate in fc4 have similar issue.
i will push new kdelibs-3.5.3-0.4.fc5 in FC5-update-testing today. It should fix this problem. Thanks for your report.
The kdelibs-3.5.3-0.4.fc5 works fine as expected. Could you consider updating the kdelibs in FC4 as well? Thanks in advance!
