Version: (using KDE 4.1.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs When pressing Ctrl+F for search, the bottom search panel is shown with the last searched text. This text should be pre-selected, so that the new search text can be entered with ease. In the current scheme, the user has to first delete the old text, and type-in the new one.
Fixed for KDE 4.2 (r869968) and KDE 4.1.3 (r869969). Thanks for the report!
Thanks Pino. :-)
