Hello, i usually activate the search tab via ctrl+f and using the highlighting feature. If i manually edit text in the search box, the highlight is updated respectively , but if i select any word on the page (mouse double-click if this matters) and then press ctrl+f again (which is expected to be filled in the searchtab), the highlitght is still on the old word. Is this a bug ? or maybe there is an easy solution to this.

Hi, the problem is that the search hasn't run yet. You need to press Enter or F3 to search for the new term.

Is there a way to make that happen automatically, like the progressive search when you type in the box? Hmm, I don't know.
