Description harryshepard 2013-07-29 18:09:36 UTC 
This is ridiculous. Either put the search and replace in a popup in the middle of the screen or make it so the damn tabs can't pop out on mouse hover while you're trying to type in search and replace. It's infuriating to start typing over the code because the output window has popped up by accident. I can't move those tabs to the right and I can't move search and replace out the way from there and I flick open one of those tabs ALL THE TIME. Let me move search and replace to the top of the screen instead of the bottom where I have none of these hover popout tabs or just put the popup search and replace back in as an option so it's not near any of the side bars with hover popouts.

Yes, ever since this was changed it has been infuriating. The popup should have been left in as an option from when this was added and it should be easy to stick in a checkbox in the settings to "use popup search and replace"
