<p>It's very similar and if I'd found this when I checked for bugs I would not have created a new bug report.  After reading the above, I did some tests and  reproduced the reported problems.  The text is there (just not visible or editable) and if I put some text in the file being edited that matches the search it gets found OK and, magically, the text reappears in the "Search for::" field and is editable again.</p>

<p>I also should have mentioned that the problem is independent of whether the "Cancel" of "Find" option is selected in the failed search pop up.</p>

<p>My relevant packages are: gtk2-2.24.30, gtk3-3.20.9, glib-1.2.10, glibc-2.23.1 and cinnamon-3.0.7 so similar to but not exactly the same.</p>
