Current behaviour

When you open the Search in current note/Find & replace (Command + F) dialog and search for a piece of text, the view jumps to where the matching text is and the matching text is selected.

At this point, if you press the Esc key, the search dialog closes.

The first time you do that (search and press Esc), the view jumps back to where it was before you searched for the text. The second time you search and press Esc, the search dialog closes but now the view stays where the matching text is.

That is inconsistent, and breaks expectations.

Only seems to happen in the rich text editor. In the raw Markdown editor, the view always stays, never jumps back.

Expected behaviour

When pressing Esc and closing the search dialog, the view should always stay where it is when you press the key and never jump back to where it was before.
