Well, it is by design, but perhaps it was more important when Find (where it is IMO fine) and Find&Replace were the same dialog.

Can you please describe in detail when this behavior is not right?

If you are referring to the FindReplace box disappearing TheIde is the only IDE, text editor, etc. that I recall where the Find box just vanishes.

If you start in the middle of a file and none is found to the end it's gone.
With the changes above it will go to the top of the file and search from there. You can change what the search is for.

Well, it will go there if you do press "find next"... Actually, I have tried to tune that behavior for minimum interaction for typical usage scenario, dialog disappearing when location is found and you start editing there (moving cursor), or there is no location. I mean, it is not a bug but intended feature.

For some the Ctrl+F is inconvenient like a slate computer where an on screen keyboard needs to be pulled up.
I posted the changes in case someone else would like to try it.
It was important enough I took the time to find out what was needed to stop the Find box from just vanishing.

Upp is great but that bothered me.

OK, I guess that I should add those changes as option... ("Do not close find/replace automatically")
