advice2020 created an issue (geany/geany#4597)

(I am aware of the toolbar search field, this is regarding the `Find` tool 
dialog)

In the past I made suggestion about being able to continue to wrap search from 
bottom of document back to beginning but still keep focus in the dialog, which 
was added to Geany.

To me the `Find` tool dialog always seems to get in the way, ending up on top 
of Geany typing pane, blocking users from being able to see the search results 
generated.
Something that at least helps this is that when you move the `Find` tool dialog 
off to the side of your screen, Geany is programmed to remember the previous 
location of this dialog when dialog is closed and then opened again.

However I noticed that if you hit CTRL+F to perform a search using the `Find` 
dialog, when you get to the end of the document / end of search results, and the
`<keyword> was not found`
`Wrap search and find again`
dialog pops up, if you apply the wrap search.
-The wrap search dialog disappears (which makes sense)
-But then the `Find` tool dialog "forgets" the previous screen location and 
automatically centers this dialog back on top of Geany typing pane.

This is kind of a bug / undesired behavior.
Suggesting to make the `Find` tool dialog "remember"/open back to the previous 
location it was in after this wrap search dialog is applied (hit "Find" button).

Thank you to anyone who reads this

I also made the following suggestion post about being able to dock the Find 
tools dialog in the `Message Window` dock which would help this issue of having 
this dialog
