Title:
  New search function sucks

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
