Make sure terminal output contains some word WORD once. Find it by entering WORD into search entry and pressing arrow down - the word WORD gets highlighted. Press arrow down another time - highlight is cleared. Press arrow up.
Expected result: WORD is highlighted.
Actual result: WORD is not highlighted, and it won't get highlighted no matter in which order and how many times buttons up and down are pressed.

This is only reproducible when Wrap Around is checked (by default). In fact, t's also reproducible in other vte-based terminal emulators under these conditions.
