Find Backwards (Comma) Doesn't Function Correctly

[HawkinsT]

Describe the bug
When finding a letter using 'f' or 'F' (find backwards), ';' will keep finding the next occurrence in the same direction. Likewise, ',' should find the next occurrence in the opposite direction to the f/F command, but instead it reverses direction every time (so repeatedly hitting ',' will just switch you between the same two letters).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Take the string, 'a a a a a a'
2. While in command mode highlight the first letter and hit 'fa;;;'
3. You will now be at the fifth occurrence of 'a' in the line.
4. Now hit ',,,'
5. You will go back to the 4th 'a', then the 5th, then back to the 4th.

Expected behavior
In step 5 the expected vim behaviour is to keep searching in the same direction when hitting ',' (so you should end up on the second instance of 'a'), just as with '/aNNN' or ?aNNN.

I'm not able to reproduce.

Hmm. I'll play about with it Monday and I'll try to narrow down the cause then. It's definitely a persistent issue for me.

Ah! Nevermind, I use vim.sneakReplacesF which works just fine in this example. With that turned off, it's clear this is a bug.
