#246 F3 replaces the text after last search and replace

[Martin Olsson]

If you select some text and press for instance F3 then
the next disappears... imho I think this is unintuitive
since no other editor will do this. Just a couple of
mins ago I was fiddling with search and search-again
and I noted that its very easy to keep pressing F3 a
couple of times, and thus messing up the entire source
because search will mark stuff for you...

I don't really understand the problem. When i select texts and
press F3, it selects the next matching text, without modifying
any part of the file. Can you please rephrase your problem ?

to reproduce:
if you have a source code like that:
--
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
}
--
1. got to the top of the text (ctrl-home)
2. ctrl-R - text to find "main", replace with "somethingelse"
3. run search/replace
4. undo replace (ctrl-z should do it)
5. go to the top (ctrl-home)
6. press F3

Now the text is search AND replaced again,
while it should just search and mark it if it's found.

This surprised me the first time it happened, but it
actually makes more sense than some of the alternatives I've
seen.

You may want to suggest a alternative rather than just
complain...
