Revert search (ctrl+f) behaviour in RDi 9.0 to the way it was in RDp 8.5

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When you open the search (ctrl+f) in the RPG LPEX editor in RDi 9.0.0.1, you can immediately enter the value you seek and press enter.

After pressing enter, the source is positioned to the value you searched for, if it was found. Now, in RDp 8.5 you could just keep pressing enter and the source would be positioned to the next instance of the word that was searched.
In RDi 9 however, it always skips one instance.

For example: If a certain word exists 3 times in a source, and you search for it., only the first and the third instance get found. When the word exists 5 times, you only find instance 1, 3 and 5. 2 and 4 will be skipped. In RDp 8.5 all instances would be found.

However if you don't use enter, and press the "Next" button. All instances get found. Is this a bug?

Regardless, the way it worked in RDp 8.5 made a lot more sense. Pressing enter would cycle you through all the matched words.

Bottom line: Entering and clicking the "Next" button should not have a different behavior.


Use Case:

System: RDi 9 RPG LPEX editor
Actor: User

Use cases for the system:
- Search for word in the source
- Press enter to find
- Pressing enter again finds the next instance, not skipping any
