Description Martin Fuhrer 2018-12-18 13:34:59 UTC

SUMMARY
Clicking the Refresh button in the Find/Replace in Files tool view doesn't perform a refresh; rather, it clears the previous search.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Find/Replace in Files tool view. 
2. Click the New Search button.
3. Enter a search pattern and click Search...
4. Any matched patterns will be displayed in the tool view panel.
5. Click the Refresh button.

OBSERVED RESULT

Matched patterns will be cleared from the view panel and the last search is removed from the drop-down menu (similar to clicking the Clear Search History button, except in this case only the last search is removed).

EXPECTED RESULT

The search on the pattern should be repeated. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Ran some additional tests and found that the Refresh button works as expected if no project is loaded. If I open a project (mine is Makefile-based), then performing a search as described and clicking Refresh clears the search.

The "Refresh" button in 5.5.0 still repeates the *previous* search not the current one. The current one is deleted until no searches are left.
