The Find Dialog has a number of usability issues.
When I use it, I have to excercise extream causion,
and it's awkward to use keyboard, so you have to use mouse
and keyboard. Here is a few points:
- when found a match, Find dialog should retain focus,
not to pass it to the script window
- this is for accelerator keys to continue to work.
- also pressing escape to dismiss Find dialog should
not close the form, which happens due to focus issue
- script window should not close on escape, only on [X] or File|Close
- script window should keep selection visible when out of focus
