NB dev build 200209250100 Edit>Find open closes off once the user clicks on Find. The common implementation of this is, the Find dialog where user types his search pattern is allowed to stay open to help him/her iterate thru the patterns in the source -- is kept open until the user chooses to explicitly close this dialog. The "Edit> Replace" dialog stays open until the user closes it. THis is request for similar implementation with Edit/Find dialog.
Do you think this is DEFECT?
It's kind of inconvenient, if the user needs to iterate through find. Hence, consider it as a defect.
*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 17635 ***
As for now it is as designed behaviour. Finding the next occurence of found string can be done via F3. There is already enhancement 17635 that tracks the problem.
