Description Thomas Damgaard 2010-09-28 12:23:00 UTC
Version:           2.0.85 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When working on large LaTeX documents, it is often necessary to have multiple TeX files open at the same time.
When you need to find something Kile provides a Find dialog that is shown on Ctrl+F.

When you search for something in one document and then shifts to another document (another tab) and press F3 to search for the last search term again or press Ctrl+F to edit current search term, Kile has forgot the current search term. 

This is really annoying if you need to search for something in a document consisting of multiple files.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1: Open a Kile project with multiple files open or just open a LaTeX document consisting of multiple files.
2: In one of the tabs press Ctrl+F to search. 
3: Write a search term.
4: Go to the next tab.
5: Press F3 to search again. (Nothing happens)
6: Press Ctrl+F to edit search term. 

Actual Results:  
Kile does not remember the search term between tabs.


Expected Results:  
I would expect that Kile remembers the search term between tabs.
At least F3 should re-search the last searched term in a new tab instead of just doing nothing.
