Find does not work in Code editor

Neither Find nor Replace works in the Code editor - the specified text is not found and selected.

It would also be nice if F3 searches next occurrence and Shift+F3 previous occurrence of the last specified string. An alternative would be that the Find/Replace dialog does not disappear on finding next/previous occurrence.

I've seen this happen once or twice, but now when I test it seems to work every time. I have the code editor focused and press Ctrl+F, type something to search for, press enter: text is found and selected. Find dialog is still visible, so I press enter again: next is found etc.
Search + replace works too. In code editor, shader editor and xml editor.
Does it fail every time for you?

Yes every time the dialog is closed, nothing is found, and focus is lost from the Code editor. I tested it on an empty project, existing projects... always the same behavior.

An interesting behavior I observed for XML editor: when immediately after finding in Code editor I open XML editor, the find function works the same - closes the dialog. I tried Replace and it works correctly. Then I tried Find in XML editor again and it worked. (However, Replace always closes the dialog in Code editor, so the behavior is different in Code and XML editors.)

I have Win XP SP3.
