[partially solved] Search highligting in kwrite

Since the update within the last weeks kwrite doesn't work as it used to: when I search for some text only a single word is highlighted, not all occurrences of this word (which I would prefer). I can't find any place to change this

There's a green button in the lower right corner of the search bar. If you click it, some more buttons should appear, one of them is sth like "Find all".

Re: [partially solved] Search highligting in kwrite

Bump: ok, I'm not satisfied with this new kwrite behaviour. The "replace" bar takes big part of the screen and the "find all" works only when I click on it. It doesn't update if I just change the search text.

I tried to downgrade kwrite but this didn't work. Probably I would have to downgrade whole kde... I don't like the idea.

Question: can you recommend me other text editor with such functionality. So I hit Ctrl+F and a search bar appears (not a new window!) and all occurrences of the searched text are highlighted as soon as I start to type? Something similar to the Firefox search bar (but of course FF is not an editor).
