Summary: "Find Next" won't respect cursor moves

Initial Comment:
The typical expected behavior of "Find Next" was broken recently: when repeated "Find Next" invocations occur, the location of the previously-found item is used as a starting point for the next invocation, even when the user moves the cursor in between invocations.

For example, given the following file contents:

mad
sad
bad
fad

Searching for "ad" three times will jump to "mad", then "sad", then "bad".  If I then click before "mad", the next time I hit "Find Next" I expect the cursor to jump to "mad", but instead it jumps to "fad".

It even seems to remember the last location after changing the search contents!  For example, in the above file, search for "ad" twice (selecting "mad", then "sad"); then click on "mad" and search for "cat"; then search for "ad" again.  The cursor will select "bad".
