2417	String in the editor's search field turns into garbage after reopening editor	ziv	andrew_b	"Actually, I'm not sure if it's a bug or rather an enhancement.

How to reproduce:
1. open a file in mcedit;
2. change encoding to any national one that is different from your system's locale (let's say, locale is ru_RU.utf8 and the file is in cp1251) using Alt+E;
3. search for some string in your language (Russian in our case) using F7;
4. exit mcedit;
5. open the same file or any other in mcedit;
6. press F7 to search.
You see garbage instead of your previous searched string. And you have to press Ctrl+Down to get it back. It's very annoying.
