Describe the bug
When terminator is fullscreen, and multiple matches of the same string fall on the same line, terminator does not find all. It only highlights/finds the first match and then moves to the next line.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

var='/home/student/miniconda3/envs/dev/bin:/home/student/miniconda3/condabin:/home/student/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/home/student/golib/bin:/home/student/bin:/home/student/Desktop/myapps/cling/bin'
echo $var

# Make the terminator window occupy full screen
# Now, search for "bin", it will only search for first occurrence of the word "bin" on each line visible (irrespective of where \n character is)

# Now make the terminator window occupy only 1/3 or 1/2 part of the screen, and search for "bin"

Expected behavior
The search functionality should be able to match multiple occurrence of the search string on the same line as well.

Desktop

  • Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon

This seems to be a bug (?) on vte. Gnome Terminal and Tilix have this problem as well.

Ugh. I'm going to label this as "Upstream" and close it. Even if I hunt through VTE code and try to find the source of it, and in the even less likely case that I find a fix (it being open for so long), there's no guarantee they'll merge. I'll keep an ongoing monitor on upstream bugs in case they ever get resolved.
