I prefer to stick with the Find dialog rather than the strip, and
lately I have been noticing that when I have the focus in the dialog
(say, entering in part of the search string) and then switch
applications and then switch back, the focus returns to the editing
window instead of the dialog, even though the dialog is still open.
To me, it seems more intuitive for the focus to return to the dialog,
since that is where it was when I left it. Has it always behaved the
way it does now? I don't remember being distracted/disturbed by this
in earlier (much earlier?) versions of SciTE. I could be imagining
it, though, or my usage patterns may have changed.
Coincidentally, there was a recent thread about the focus behavior for
the Find strip. I tried it to see if it would work better for me, and
while the focus does return to the strip (no doubt to some people's
consternation), it comes back with the whole input field highlighted,
even though I didn't have anything highlighted when I left the strip.
If the state of the strip would just stay the way I left it, that
might be enough to convert me. (But if it's just as easy to modify
the dialog focus behavior, I would go that route.)
