Description Petr Suchomel 2002-05-03 15:10:47 UTC 
Search Filesystems is modal, although other search
dialogs and result of this search is non-modal.
This looks strange.

Implementor must be aware of the fact that some  
clients like VCS search types depended on this  
behaviour, it allows to pass context via  
static fields.  
  
After change these clients must be required to  
use ThreadLocals.
Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2002-08-14 13:13:19 UTC 
Well, I don't have problems with the current behavior.
The Search Filesystems is usually filled immediately and IMHO it's
O.K., that it is modal. The user just enter desired information and
run the search. There is no need to do anything else in the mean time.
But the result must be non-modal to be able to view the found files
and perform other actions.
I don't think this looks strange. Is this a UI requirement?
