--- Comment #17 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Can not confirm, current UI is consistent and correct.

With Ctrl+F Findbar *enabled* and present in the UI, a selection/copy from text
does not change the current find target! The Find bar retains original entry
and Find Previous/Find Next/Find All buttons continue with that value.

Only if the Findbar has been *closed* does a new selection/copy from text
replace the prior search. And with no ensuing selection, the prior find target
is used.

This UI makes functional sense and is consistent. If you don't want/need to
retain the find target close the Findbar--if you want to retain it to be able
to navigate through text leave it open.

Changing this would impose a regression for users used to working with the
Findbar.

Otherwise the issue of placing an arbitrary limit on the size of the string
held in the Findbar is reasonable--maybe ~256 characters?
