When I search for a string (with Search -> Find) and a match is found at the beginning of a line, that line gets a dark background - sometimes it's black and sometimes it's blue - making it impossible to read anything on that line after the highlighted match. This happens when I search a document in a tabbed window and the document is not the first one among the open tabs.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Launch Gedit. Open a new tab. Write the string `foo bar' in the document. Press Ctrl-F and search for `foo'.

2. What happens is that the background of the first line after the highlighted word `foo' goes black or dark blue.

3. The expected behaviour would be not to change the color of the background except for the matched string.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) reached end-of-life on May 16, 2014.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu?

Please let us know if you do otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
