Double clicking on text while search box has focus

#1

What I am doing:

I use Command+F to search my current document.

I find a word I want to change. I double-click on the highlighted word that was found by the search. It becomes highlighted. I begin typing. Instead of editing the word I double-clicked on, my typing is appended to the end of my search.

It seems that for some reason the text document does not gain keyboard focus if you double-click on a section of text that matched the search. This is inconsistent with the usual behavior. If I double-click any other word while performing a search, the document gains focus, but for some reason it does not if the word matched the search.

Double-Click in Search-Field should set cursor to this field

The simplest steps to reproduce problem. Would like it fixed :slightly_smiling: Thanks!

  1. DBL CLICK any word to highlight.
  2. CTRL+F (CMD+F) to open find box.
  3. Now DBL CLICK that same word
    Notice the cursor is not focused back on the word. If you start typing , the typing goes into the Find box instead.

Same issue happens if you navigate to Sidebar.

  1. DBL CLICK any word to highlight
  2. Click on empty pace in Sidebar.
  3. Now DBL CLICK that same word
    No cursor focus! Cannot type over that word. You have to click once and doubleclick again
