EESchema - Power symbols don't come up when running find

[Art]

Somehow I ended up with two power symbols with two identical reference number. Well, it happened when I copied and pasted a piece of schematic from a different project and they didn't get reset. Regardless, every time I attempted to annotate schematic I was getting an error message about identical #PWR190 symbols. However when I tried to find them, the search apparently ignores power symbols and reference numbers for power symbols are not showing. So I actually had to play a game of delete half of schematic - run annotate, see if the error was solved and then repeat on the offending half until I could reduce the scope of the search.

@Art, are you sure it wasn't just because power symbol references aren't usually shown? Or maybe there was something else that I haven't managed to duplicate. See the attached graphic which shows my simple test-case.

@Jeff

I'm sure. See video attached of me first running a search for a regular symbol and then for a power one. When I search for a power symbol the screen focus keeps jumping all over the sheet (and out of the bounds of the sheet too) with nothing being highlighted.

So it is finding them, it's just confused about where they are. I can reproduce that.
