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.
Already in progress. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 37195 ***
