Research direction

Start by running GitUI 0.28.1 on Arch Linux and open the find tool with f, then reproduce the missing highlight while changing search options. Trace the find-tool cursor and option-rendering entry points; done means the current cursor position is visibly highlighted as the options are navigated.
