Summary: Repeatedly search doesn't work backwards in kwrite and
kate
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
S/Version: Linux
Status: UNCNFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NR
Component: kwrite
AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
ReportedBy: lecit lecit com
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from: Compiled From Sources
Compiler: gcc-4.1.1
S: Linux
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.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a test file
for i in `seq 10`; do echo "line$i" >test; done
2. "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:
editors like kedit and vi support repeatedly backwards search pretty well.
