That is not a QScintilla problem. Try to reinstall eric snapshot after the 
update of PyKDE. The code works fine over here. If it still fails, please 
insert a print statement at the beginning of the E3Action ctor. (print args). 
The start eric on the commandline and redirect stdout to a file. In this file 
search for a line conatining the string "search_dialog_find_next". It should 
appear twice. The third and fourth entriy should be 0, 0.
