tdf#158277 sw_redlinehide: fix find bar string

Steps:
1. Insert table
2. Type something to a cell and select it
3. Ctrl+F

Quick Find bar should be populated with the selected text.

What's interesting it worked in version 7.* perfectly. There Ctrl-F always populate text into the search box regardless of pure text or table.

I think many people work with tables a lot as me and have the same issue. Very annoying. Now we need to press Ctrl-C/Ctrl-F/Ctrl-V sequence.
