Search term disappears unexpectedly when editing text

[jeremypw]

What Happened?

Often I want to edit or delete several occurrences of a search match but as soon as the first match is selected or deleted, the current search term is lost so "Find Next" no longer is possible.

Steps to Reproduce

• Search for a term occurring several times in a document
• Focus the document and perform an operation that results in a mark-set or mark-delete signal such as copy or cut operations
• Observe search term disappears from searchbar

Expected Behavior

The current search term should persist until deliberately changed by editing or activating the find action again (Control + F)
