Description

Describe the bug
The built-in text editor's search feature fails to move the screen to the location of each next result; the arrow buttons are useless.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1.Open a text file
2. Press the magnifying glass and type a query
3. Try to press the arrow buttons to navigate through results
4. The arrow buttons do nothing; all query-matching results are highlighted, but you have to manually scroll through the document yourself to spot them

Expected behavior
Each arrow tap should move the screen to each next query-matching result throughout the text file

Screenshots
N/A

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: Galaxy S21 FE
  • OS: Android 12
  • Rooted: No
  • Version: v3.11.2

Additional context
Device is running Samsung One UI 4.0, though I don't think that matters

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the built-in text editor's search and result-navigation entry points, then reproduce the issue on Android with a text file containing multiple matches. Done means each arrow tap moves the editor view to the corresponding match instead of only highlighting results.
