All packages are shown (by default I use the show all packages filter).  The 
find jumps to the first available package that matches the search criteria.  
But all packages are shown in the list.  In my case the search filter is the 
same as the reduce view filter (and are never changes at least not on 
purpose).

I would like to show you the list but I can't cut and paste the list from 
synaptic (should that be possible).
