            Bug ID: 301248
          Severity: normal
           Version: 0.13.2
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Searching for previous match makes it impossible to
                    search for new keyword
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: ph at phhart.de
          Hardware: Debian unstable
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: okular

There is an oddness in the search behavior that bites me every day. It seems to
be related to the use of the Previous button, but I might have observed it
under different circumstances. The following steps should illustrate it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. You are in the middle of some document. Open the search bar, type some text
that matches the current document and hit enter.
2. Hit the Previous button to find the previous match.
3a. Append some text to the text in the search bar and hit enter. Nothing
happens. Using the Previous and Next buttons continues to search for the old
text.
3b. If instead of adding text as in 3a. you remove text from the text in the
search bar, hitting enter doesn't have any effect either, but at least the
Previous and Next buttons seem to look for the new text.
Actual Results:  
The search bar and the enter button are now in some broken state and one needs
to fiddle about with the buttons and the enter key to be able to fully
functionally search for new text.

Expected Results:  
After modifying the text in the search bar, hitting enter should search for the
new text.
