Incremental search might (?) turn the text red after editing and next search

[vogella]

I use the find and replay dialog to replace text in an editor.

I search for "Todo" and replace every instance with "Task" using the next button. Now if I search in a text which has no "Todo" with the next next button I would expect that the text gets red as in an initial empty search.

Can you please explain the workflow to reproduce the issue in a bit more detail, in particular how you did the replacement of "todo" with "task", @vogella?
If I take a document and search for "todo" with the "Search forward" button, then replace every instance with "task" either by manual replacement or via "Replace All" and then search for "todo" again, the search string becomes colored red. That's how I understand the described expected behavior.

Additional question: can you add information about the Eclipse build you are using? I am asking because there was a change regarding coloring in the find/replace overlay like 10 day ago (#2665), so I would like to know whether that change is related to the described issue (be it that the PR may have already fixed it or that it is a regression by that PR).
