Cell delete or insert causes jump to last search result

[notuntoward]

Say I've done a Jupyterlab search (ctrl-F) and have then moved the cursor to a different cell. If, at the new location, I delete a cell (Delete Cells: D,D) or insert one (Insert Cell Below: B), then the cursor moves to the last search match.

I never want that, and instead want to continue working at the spot where I've just done the cell editing.

I also observed this. In particular with larger notebooks it can be quite distracting since suddenly and unwilling you are at a completely different part of the notebook. A crude workaround for users is to delete the search window each time before adding or deleting cells, but that is easily forgotten.

Same issue. I hadn't connected it to the presence of an open search window though, thanks for the tip...that's helpful.
