Every time I use the Find or Replace dialogs, I have to click directly on the dialog after is apears in order to start typing. I expect focus to be on the new dialog, but instead it's still on the editor.
Created attachment 10954 [details] dialog_focus.pdf - example screen shot. Note the location of the carrot.
Reassigning to winsys, on the assumption that editor is using DialogDescriptor. I've noticed similar behavior on Solaris using Blackbox WM, but this is fine on Linux w/ Blackbox. FWIW, probably the find/replace dialogs ought to be lightweight, rather than using their own window - better performance and probably fewer problems. That would be best taken care of in the editor impl.
