Bug Description

gedit 2.14.2, Ubuntu Dapper

1. Enter "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama" in a new document.
2. Go to the start of the document (Ctrl+Home).
3. Open the Find dialog, enter "a " as the search string, and turn "Wrap around" off.
4. Click "Find" repeatedly. It highlights the three occurrences, and stop at the last one.
5. Close the dialog.
6. Choose "Find Next".

What should happen:
* Nothing, because the last occurrence is already selected.

What actually happens:
* Find Next and Find Previous behave as if "Wrap around" was still turned on.

Patch available upstream (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=63977)- not sure if this will make release time. We need to check it and decide if we can patch gedit for that.
