Description Todd 2016-10-22 21:28:50 UTC
In the past, when I activated the "find" functionality in kate or kwrite, it would put the currently-selected text in the text box.  However, it recently stopped doing so.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new document in kate or kwrite
2. Write two different words.
3. Select the first word
4. Hit the "find" keyboard shortcut ("ctrl+f" by default).
5. Select the second word.
6. Hit the "find" keyboard shortcut again

Actual Results:  
The first word remains in the "find" box.

Expected Results:  
The second word appears in the "find" box.

This is a regression in KDE Frameworks 5.26, and it's fixed in KDE Frameworks 5.27. Please update - sorry for the inconvenience.
