Bug Description

Situation:
- Calibre 3.19 on Windows x64
- Reading ebook (by selecting View on the Main menu).

Current behavior: Pressing Ctrl+F gets me to the Search field. If there was any previously searched text, it is left untouched, the cursor being placed on it's right side.

Desired behavior: When Ctrl+F is pressed, the previously searched text is automatically selected (as if I pressed Ctrl+A), so that I can immediately start typing a new searched text.

Note: the desired behavior is default n many other applications, for example in MS Word or Libre Office Writer.
