Description nguyenq 2004-02-08 05:34:34 UTC 
The Find dialog would disappear after Find 
operations. It should stay until dismissal by 
the user through the Cancel button.
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2004-02-10 16:04:21 UTC 
I've changed to enhancement because IIRC this was discussed several
times yet and there was no clear result what's better. I've added Gabo
on cc of this issue.
Comment 2 nguyenq 2004-02-11 19:16:27 UTC 
All other IDEs, text editors, and word processors leave the Find 
dialog open until the user manually closes it.
Comment 3 pfelenda 2004-02-13 10:28:54 UTC 
There should be an option to switch behaviour of this dialog.
- Dialog stay open after find action  (true/false)

For me is better that the dialog disappear after click to Find button.

I am using Kwrite editor in KDE RH9 and there the find dialog
disappear after find action.
Comment 4 nguyenq 2004-02-13 16:57:23 UTC 
All others are not operating like Kwrite.

What if there are multiple appearances of the word in the text and 
the first finding is not the one you're interested in? You would 
open the Find dialog again, and again?
Comment 5 Miloslav Metelka 2004-02-16 12:40:01 UTC 
There are search-related icons in the editor toolbar - Find Next
Occurrence (F3) and Find Previous Occurrence (Shift+F3). But I guess
that will not satisfy you :)
OK I propose to make a boolean option for whether the search dialog
should remain opened after clicking on "Find".
Gabo would UI team agree with this?
Comment 6 pfelenda 2004-02-16 13:47:04 UTC 
The shortcut (F3 -next occurrance) is stadardized (Win, Linux).
Comment 7 psuk 2004-03-23 18:20:21 UTC 
Changing subcomponent to "search"
Comment 8 Martin Roskanin 2004-12-09 16:45:06 UTC 
We would like to change the behaviour of F&R dialog.
