Bug: Copied text from Evince won't show up in searching box

If I copy some text from a PDF file opened in Evince, then paste it into the ST2’s search box, the text won’t show up.
But the text is actually already input into the box. If you then type backspace, the text will show up then.

And the searching result is also wrong in this case, the phrase whatever I copied will get a “unable to find” result.

I hope I clearly explain the bug…

Thanks for your great work!

The search field in Sublime accepts multi-line content. If you grab the top edge of the search panel, you can drag it up to make it bigger and you will probably see that you ended up pasting a newline in there.

Thanks! That’s the reason!
