Description _ gtzabari 2003-12-02 01:04:46 UTC
dev build 200311301900

  With the introduction of the new windowing
system, when a user double-clicks on search
results, the dialog remains on top. The dialog
itself is huge, covering most of the screen and
reducing its size is not really an option due to
the layout of the information within it.

   You need to either rearrange the information in
the SEARCH RESULTS dialog so it'll be easy to
shrink its size and still have it be useful. Or,
place results into an MDI tab instead of a
separate dialog. Or, have search results attach to
the right side of the editor like the BEAN PALETTE
does for the form editor.

   Personally I prefer the 3rd option, assuming
you rearrange the information so it can show up in
a vertical bar.
