    UI: Search Box

    Post by djlurch »

    Alex:This never really stood out before, but I've just started being annoyed by it.Cntrl-F to open a Find dialog box. Type in something that won't be found in the document. Hit enter. The "Cannot find 'foo' dialog pops up. I can hit Enter to kill the cannot find dialog box.Here's the problem. After the cannot find dialog box disappears, the focus doesn't go anywhere. Expected behavior would be for the Find What: text to be selected and the focus to go there.When I mistype something that cannot be found I have to go to the mouse to change the text. Not only that, but hitting Cntrl-F again (as a practical matter) does nothing.I did discover that hitting the tab button will focus on the Find What text. Any chance the current behavior can be changed?

    Hi djlurch,After a failed find, hit Tab and the Find What: field will get focus. (But it would be nice if we didn't have to press Tab.)Bill
