Description Marcel Partap 2008-01-24 18:56:59 UTC
Version:           3.0.80 (using 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= 20080104), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-rc8-git3

when you select a word and press CTRL+F, the search bar comes up with that phrase as search query. If you want to search for another different word, you can not just repeat select + CTRL+F; you either manually have to clear the search box and paste the new phrase, or close the bar and then press CTRL+F. Would be nice if that extra step wasn't neccessary.
