If I understand your problem, you want to clear the search highlighting. See the Search -> Clear highlight, in the menu.
Comment 2 Username 2014-01-11 16:29:48 UTC 
Nope, you don't :) I need to undo my actions in case I did something wrong. That's just plain Undo. It's an inconsistency in UI, when somewhere undo is working, and somewhere it doesn't.
Comment 3 Paolo Borelli 2014-01-11 16:35:41 UTC 
You want undo in the text entry, that's a gtk problem :(
Comment 4 Username 2014-01-11 17:01:46 UTC 
Would it be hard to implement it based on insert_text/delete_range events?
Comment 5 Paolo Borelli 2014-04-12 09:34:47 UTC 
it would not be too difficult to implement something specific to entry, but the gtk bug is a bit stuck on the idea of coming up with a more generic "undo framework".
