screenshot of the CTRL-F + background color focus problem

Doing a search with CTRL-F and applying a background color to a cell gives problems with the focus in the Find field when one comes back with CTRL-F and applying background color to another cell.

How to reproduce:

1. create a list, in my example on rows 1 to 6 in column A: apple (in A1), banana (A2), pineapple (A3), strawberry (A4), pear (A5), mango (A6).
2. find the field apple using CTRL-F and typing 'apple' into the search field that than appears below in the window. (see screenshot).

from this point there are 2 variants:
==first variant: steps 3 to 5==
==second variant: steps 6 to 10==

==variant 1==
3. apply a background color to cell A1 choosing any color from the color palette (but not using the rapid button for the last applied color; instead, click the arrow and choose a color from the drop down color palette). 

4. use CTRL-F to go back to the search field. 

5. at this point one can see already an odd behaviour (if you have more search strings in the search field history): the pre filled search term changes to another search string previously used, instead of leaving the last used search word, in this case "apple" there.

==variant 2==
6. close the search bar (with the red cross or with ESC) and give focus to any empty cell with the mouse. This to reset the procedure for variant 2:

7. use CTRL-F to search for another item, for example "banana". 

8. apply a background color to this cell, but this time use the quick color button beside the arrow. So for this variant do not choose from the color palette, but apply the last used color (this should now be the color that you've choosen in variant 1 here above.)

9. use CTRL-F to go back to the search bar, and at this point the focus in the search bar completely freezes. 

10. Actually, it's not frozen, but the focus shifted somewhere between the search field and the arrow to access the search history. One can be released from this (without using a mouse) by using SHIFT-TAB  (the focus then appears on the cross for closing Find and after that another TAB brings you with correct focus back in the search field).

I can't reproduce this.

Reproduced, and the same happens with another split button like Font Colour.

Not reproduced with gen VCL plugin not kf5, so gtk3-specific.

It happens with any toolbar button - I tested Bold and Centered.
