0. Activate Find (via menu or shortcut)
1. Press Return/Enter to search for Foo downwards (default direction)

[4. Optional: Press Return to activate a single search.]
Expected outcome: That the Upwards button remains active [and thus, that
a search upwards is performed]
Actual outcome: Pressing Command + L activated the Downwards button.
Which, if you perform step 4, means that the search will b downwards
instead of upwards.
Comment:
I do not have this issue myself - I work with Find differently. But I
watched another person having this issue.
Sorry but the "Search" menu entries documented here
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/searchMenu.html
notably Cmd+F="Search" (always downwards) and Cmd+Shift+F="Search
Backwards" (always upwards), are deemed to be consistent and sufficient
and will not be changed any time soon.
By comparison, activating the Find field of the Find & Replace element
tool, does not change the search direction.
Sorry but no, this is not the case. I cannot reproduce (at least on my
Linux box) what would have been a bug of "Find and Replace Element".
As you can see it here,
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/searchReplaceElementMenu.html
the "Find and Replace Element" menu entries are consistent with the
"Search" menu entries.
That activating Find (via shortcut or menu) causes the search direction
to be defaulted, is simple to work around, but not very intuitive (even
if I guess it can also, for some, be a practical thing).
