Description Maciej Pilichowski 2009-03-06 22:32:07 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)

How to reproduce:

2. close the find pane

4. panes opens again, find selection sits still
5. press F3
6. now searching kicks in

If the find bar is closed, there's no search active.

Ok, but "find next" says exactly what it does it find next occurrence.

About  micro-variation, I did it because of the BKO principle, one issue = one report, and you can separate this behaviour -- i.e. you can force opening find AND performing search. In such case, this one report could be closed as FIXED, and the other would still be valid. But ok, let's keep them together.

This bug is still valid in Okular 0.13.3 on KDE 4.7.3. Should this be marked as WONTFIX or is it going to be fixed?

@jordonwii: It's ultra low priority, if someone comes with a patch we might include it, otherwise there is more important stuff to do.

Confiemed by triager, changed priority.

I think that i actually like this behaviour.
