xcfe4-terminal "find commandscreenshot

xfce4-terminal v.0.8.8

I am experiencing an issue with "Find" in xfce4-terminal.  For example, if I search for

    82, 433

in

    [victoria@victoria ~]$ echo "{(82, 433, 0): 1, (82, 433, 1): 2, (22, 182, 0): 27, (22, 3785, 0): 659, ...}"
    {(82, 433, 0): 1, (82, 433, 1): 2, (22, 182, 0): 27, (22, 3785, 0): 659, ...}

Find only "finds" the first match, per line (in the terminal display text above, it should match twice per line, i.e. 4 matches).

However, in the example above "Find" will not match/highlight the second "82,433" string in each of the two lines illustrated.

This is not such a significant issue in the simple illustration, above, but more so when applied over large volumes of complex, multi-line terminal content.

Hi Victoria,
This has already been reported against xfce4-terminal but in fact, this is a limitation in vte, not the terminal itself: see, for example, this vte bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694128
