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

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

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

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.

So, I confirm it is a feature but maybe a bad one :)
The find & replace is always active for the TextMorph which owns the  
keyboard focus.
Another option is that the find & replace is only active for the textMorph  
from which it has been opened.
Is it better this way ?

Tagged 1.3 so that this point is not lost and maybe rediscussed later.
