Description tofarr 2008-04-14 11:49:23 UTC
Open any java source file and do a find and replace (Ctrl + H) If you leave the dialog open and select the editor, the
dialog always stays on top, even though the editor has focus. Now undock the editor and the dialog falls behind it. 

I noticed this while working in a multi monitor environment, in an undocked window. I hit (ctrl + h) to bring up the
find and replace dialog, and when selecting text to populate it, the dialog fell behind the editor. Maybe such dialogs
should be have their parent attribute set to the window currently in focus, rather than the first window.

Just a minor issue - nitpicking really.
