"previous" button in Evolution's in-message search box finds the next match, not the previous match

[ais523]

Steps to reproduce:

In Evolution, open any email by double-clicking on it (so that the email appears in a separate window). Press Ctrl-Shift-F to bring up a search box at the bottom of the screen (allowing you to search for words in an email). Type in a word that appears at least three times in the email, and press Return, then start using the "Previous" and "Next" buttons next to it.

Expected behaviour: the "Next" button jumps to the next occurrence of that word in the email; the "Previous" button jumps to the previous occurrence of that word in the email.

Actual behaviour: the "Next" button acts as expected, but the "Previous" button acts identically to the "Next" button, moving to the next (rather than previous) occurrence of that word in the email.

[Andre Klapper (a9016009)]

I can confirm this on Evolution 3.30.5. Can you please report this to the Evolution maintainers in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/ ?

[ais523 (ais523)]

Reported upstream as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/318.

(Launchpad thinks GNOME's bug tracker is somewhere else, so I haven't been able to link that bug report to this one "officially".)

[ais523 (ais523)]

Upstream have committed a fix at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/commit/b66cdbbe6f33bcbfc12af52b788cf87f7c78c40b.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue was fixed in 3.31.92 and the fix is included in 3.32 in Disco
