I'm pretty sure it's there because gtk/packet_list.c does the equivalent.

packet_list_select_first_row is called in file.c in several places, including
cf_continue_tail. In the GTK+ UI packet_list_select_first_row exits if there
are no visible packets. The Qt UI grabs focus unconditionally. Without having
done any testing I think this is the underlying problem.

It looks like there's another bug: packet_list_select_last_row doesn't grab
focus at all in the GTK+ UI but does so unconditionally in the Qt UI.

It resets the search direction. It might make more sense to do that in
MainWindow::on_actionEditFindPacket_triggered.
