            Bug ID: 508707
           Summary: Ctrl + Shift + F opens search with prefilled random
                    content as search string
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
      Version First 25.08.0
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: postix at posteo.eu
  Target Milestone: ---

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole
2. Hit Ctrl + Shift + F to open the search

OBSERVED RESULT
The search opens with prefilled text.
The random prefilled text seems to be the first line(s) of the current command
and can be even the whole debug output.

EXPECTED RESULT
The search opens empty or with the last entered search string.

Having a random string in the search field on opening can be problematic.

1) it's likely not what you want to search for
2) it overwrites the former search string
3) when having a lot of (continuous) debug output, this can mean Konsole fully
freezes as it becomes incapable of searching a huge string or the text appears
too often, producing too many results.
