demo text with open search field
A screencast will not show keyboard presses, which are essential here. However,
I enclose a screenshot and hope this explanation will help:
In the screenshot, the search field is open (lower left corner, with text
'foo') and the cursor is in it. Under these conditions search works as
expected: CTRL-G searches forward, CTRL-SHIFT-G backwards.
Now, if the cursor is placed into the document or the search field is closed
(e.g. by pressing ESC), CTRL-SHIFT-G will stop doing anything useful. CTRL-G
will repeat the last search from back when the cursor was in the search field.
As this may have been a forward or a backward search, CTRL-G may or may not
invert its behaviour.
It seems to me that CTRL-G should //always// perform a forward search and
CTRL-SHIFT-G //always// a backward search with the last search string. The
present behaviour stands in contrast to what a user is accustomed to from other
applications.
