[Bug 452915] [NEW] When most is used to read man pages, and when searching for a term, you have to press 'n' twice

[Rory McCann]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: most

When using most as a man page viewer (eg "PAGER=most man man"), if you
search for a word that is highlighted (in the case of the man man page
'DESCRIPTION'), you have to press n twice to progress to the next match.
'n' is used in most when searching to progress to the next search.

To reproduce
1. install most
2. in a terminal: "PAGER=most man man"
3. You will see the man page for man
4. type in "/DESCRIPTION". (without the quotes), this will tell most to search for the string 'DESCRIPTION'
5. The cursor will move to the D in DESCRIOTION (this is what we want)
6. Press the n key, this will tell most to move to the next matched string

what happens:

The cursor doesn't move

what should happen:

the cursor should move to the next occurance of 'DESCRIPTION' (which is
a few lines down)

pressing n again will move to the next 'DESCRIPTION'.

All the occurances of 'DESCRIPTION' that are highlighted in red take 2
presses of n to move to the next. if it's not highlighted in red, then
you only have to press n once.
