New issue 3488 by aplantec: Find and replace dialog behavior
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3488I 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

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

Igor answer:
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.
