Find and replace popup takes always the focus!

Hi (alain?). I wonder if this is a feature or a bug. When I open a system windows AND a find & replace popup, even if the system window is in front, when I click in the code pane of a method, the find replace popup comes to front :(
I mean, it gets the focus.

Thanks

Hi Mariano,
It was supposed to be a feature, I mean for the find & replace window to
always stay on top.
A setting can be easily introduced to allow/forbid this.
But, it should not take the keyboard focus: if you click on a code pane,
for example, the find & replace window comes to top but the clicked code
pane should keep the keyboard focus. It is the case here. Did you
noticed something different ?
Cheers
Alain

i think that the problem here (as i understood),
that search window capturing a global focus,
while in reality it should prevent interaction only with window, where
you activated search/replace function,
so you should not be able to interact with that window, while still
should be able to interact with another ones.

No, this is exactly the case. Don't worry. It is fine to be that way. It was just rare for me and wanted to be sure it was not a bug.
Perfect for me. No, no need a settting, don't worry ;) thanks for offering!

Cheers
Alain

no, it only bring in front, but it doesn't capture the mouse or key focus. Sorry, I expressed myself bad,

cheers

so you should not be able to interact with that window, while still
should be able to interact with another ones.
