            Bug ID: 468703
           Summary: Search occurs in random editor window instead of
                    active editor window
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 5.11.230390
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: All editors

SUMMARY
If I have multiple files open at the same time and I have the cursor in one of
the file views and type ^F to search for an item, it will start searching a
different file instead of the currently selected one.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Have multiple windows open at the same time, they can also be the same file
2. Double-click on a term to search
3.  Type ^F
4.  Type F3 to search for the next term
5. The search is performed on a different window than the selected window.

This is not always  reproduceable and the window that is searched seems to be
arbitrary.

In my current failing environment I have a lot of tabs and files with 4 windows
side-by-side (I have a 4K monitor).
In windows 1 and 4 I have one file (same file). In windows 2 and 3 I have a
different file.
In window 1 I double click on a field, for example a structure name and type ^F
The cursor switches to the find line at the bottom. I then press F3 to find the
next item. Instead of moving to the next match in window 1, it searches window
4 and moves the cursor there.
This makes searching extremely annoying since after hitting ^F I must use the
mouse to move the cursor back to the window I want before pressing F3. The find
operation should only be for the active window, i.e. window with the cursor in
it.
Each of the four edit windows has multiple tabs open for a lot of different
files since I am working on a rather large project written in C.

OBSERVED RESULT
The find operation often occurs on a different window than the selected one.

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect the find operation to take place in the editor window containing the
cursor.
