Research direction

Reproduce the Ctrl+Z steps in Xed 3.8.9, using both Find and Find and Replace, and observe which field receives undo. Trace the Find pane's input and undo handling, then verify that edits in its query fields stay local without undoing text in the main document.

Description

Xed 3.8.9 on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3, 'Zena':

  1. Open a document and type stuff in it
  2. Open Find or Find and Replace and type and delete stuff in any of these query fields
  3. Undo

Expected result: All action should stay local to the Find or Find and Replace pane

Current result: The action jumps back to the main body, undoing whatever you had last typed there instead of in the Find pane
