[Bug 439275] [NEW] Multiple finds impossible in Leafpad.

[David Wynn]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: leafpad

Karmic Koala.  Leafpad version 0.8.13.

Following these steps, my copy of Leafpad fails every time to perform as
expected.

1) Load a document.
2) Go to Search -> Find or hit Ctrl+F.  Notice when this first pops up, the Find button is greyed out and unusual.  That's OK at this point.  I haven't told it what to find.
3) Start typing something to search for in the "Find What" box.  With the first keypress, the Find button becomes active and is usable.
4) Actually perform the find.  I finish typing what I want to find, and hit return or click the Find button.  It does find what I asked it to find.  I can even do find next (Ctrl+G) and find prev (Shift+Ctrl+G) without a problem.

Everything up to this point seems to works as expected.  But, somehow it
sets up something inthe background that makes the next bit not work.

5) Go to Search -> Find or hit Ctrl-F.  Note again that the Find button is greyed out, but there is already text in the "Find What" box.  That's already peculiar.  Why can't I search for the same thing I just searched for?  Turns out -- if I cancel, I can still successfully use find next and find prev, but these only search for the first search text I specified.
6) Start typing something to search for in the "Find What" box.  This time, it doesn't matter what I type in the box.  Nothing makes the find button active again.

So, the only way I can search for two different things in my document is
to open the document, search once, close leafpad, restart it, open my
document and search for the other term.

The Replace functionality as broken in the exact same way.
