Public bug reported:

I'm not 100 % sure the search function (Ctrl+F) actually changed, but I
don't think it behaved this way before.

When you Ctrl+F to search for something, it finds the first occurence of
that string, but it also changes the focus to the main window, so that
when you hit "Enter" to search again, you instead wind up replacing the
first occurence of the string with a newline. This is highly annoying to
say the least, and contrary to the behaviour used in Firefox and Chrome.
Hitting "Enter" should make you find the next string; hitting anything
else; hitting anything else should add that to the search box.

I guess what I'm asking is to leave the focus in the search box, not to
change it once an occurence of the string is found.
