Summary: Arrow keys do not recall previous search strings

Initial Comment:
In the Search and Replace dialog in 4.3pre7, the
up/down arrow keys do not cause the list of previous
'Search for' values to display.  This feature worked in
4.2, and the help text in the dialog indicates that it
should still be functional.

Right-clicking in the field *does* cause the previous
searches to display.

Martin cannot remember jedit 4.2 :-). But as he said the
Search/Replace strings can be multiline as of jedit 4.3preX.
So the shortcuts changed.

*** The bug is the label that points to the wrong keys. ***

I'm sure there was a time in early 4.3preX when the label
was ok. And I wished I could understand this trackers
behavior: I cannot change any of the items especially the
subject.

Can anyone change the subject to i.e. "Serch&Replace: Wrong
label for search text" ?

As long as I remember, the keys to recall previous "Search
for" values have been PgUp/PgDn. I think this makes sense,
because otherwise you can't navigate with the arrow keys in
multiline Search/Replace strings. My solution would be to
just correct the help line above the "Search for" input field.
