Does screen tell you that 'Pattern not found' even when there are
matches? Or does it not do anything at all?

I see that screen does not update the cursor properly for the first match
in vertical mode (although the cursor is moved there, as can be seen by
using the cursor-movement keys). I am investigating why this happens.
For the subsequent searches (pressing 'n'/'N'), the cursor is updated
properly and everything works as it should.

Note that I am using the development version of screen (from
https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=screen).
