A somewhat reliable recipe for reproduction is to run:

  src/nano --ignore --nohelp NEWS

Then type: ^W fast <Enter>, and hold down M-W.  Now and then you will see "Searching..." appear for a tenth of a second on the status bar.  If in that tenth you would release M-W, the "Searching..." would stay.  (You can also search for "save" instead -- it will take much longer before "Searching..." will appear, but you will stand a chance to release M-W before it disappears.)

Anyway, the thing is easily fixed by adding a wrefresh() call after the statusbar blanking in findnextstr().

This is difficult to reproduce, but I've seen it happen four times now.  I'm searching for something and am slowly typing a series M-W, and then, suddenly, even when the searching has stopped and the cursor sits on the found occurrence, the message "Searching..." stays put on the status bar.  I use --quickblank, so it will disappear on the next keystroke, but it's not right.

It seems to occur only when --nohelp is used as I haven't been able to reproduce it with the help lines present.  So, it sounds like the clearing of the status bar (after a search has finished) relies on a doupdate() call when the help lines get rewritten?
