(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

If the previous find in one tab results in a "not found" situation, a find
started in a second tab initiates in a "not found" state with no find string
entered.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two tabs
2. In the first tab, initiate a find which results in "not found" then close the
find bar
3. Change to the second tab
4. Initiate a find with ctrl-F or /

Actual Results:  
Find bar in second tab is opened with no text in the find field and toolbar is
indicating a "not found" state.

Expected Results:  
Find bar in second tab is opened with no text with no find status since no has
been requested.

This happens with all status indications( not found and wrapped top/bottom)

Looking at the code, once the find state is set it is not cleared until another
find is completed.

Attachment: patch to fix

Corrects problem by clearing status state when toolbar is opened if find field
is empty, and updating status state if find field is not empty.
