Find pane — queries

[T U]

When you change from floating to non-floating (or vice versa) it preserves the text in the input controls but - when floating - if you press esc or click the close button the text will be erased next time you will recover the window.

When it is non-floating and you press esc nothing weird seems to happen. But if you have set the focus on an object of the Find pane (child id = 1127, child id = 1131, child id = 1214, child id = 1217, child id = 1129, child id = 1132 etc) and press Alt+F or Alt+R, the main menu will pop up and if you then press esc it will close and the respective action will be performed in the code pane (text selection or text replacement). :!: Then if you set focus on 1127 or 1131 controls and press esc the whole Find pane will disappear and only a grey rectangle will be left there. hock: :? Some of the info the status bar shows for this:

class = QM_Editor . styles = 0x17CF0000, 0x100
.. exe = QM .. child id = 2206 . class = QM_Scc . styles = 0x56000000, 0x10000

Then if you press either of the Find buttons or if you press Ctrl+F, the grey area remains there; it seems like you have to first make the output or the tips panes appear in order to be able to restore the Find pane the usual way.


After you fix it, if it is in the floating mode and the user presses esc, will it still loose the text in the controls, like it does now?

Have in mind that I might have done some inaccuracies.

P.S: Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have the previously found text highlighted; with an option (a simple check box) for it to appear (but in a different colour) maybe it could have a practical use, e.g. to be able to see at the same time both the previous and the current strings of interest.
