Hi Adam, all,

As you may have seen if you track the trac bugs, your recent dialog change 
partially fixed an OSX issue where checkmarks in Find/Replace couldn't be used 
on OSX - Awesome!

I have a few questions to throw out there based on my usage of the recent 
versions:

1. 
A Replace dialog issue remains in svn: I cannot use keyboard navigation to 
reach the checkmarks in the find or replace dialogs - nor the actual find next, 
replace, cancel buttons at the bottom of the dialog. They are only accessible 
via the mouse (and Enter does invoke the default action).

Does anyone else sees the same behavior on other platforms, or is this OSX 
specific?

2.
Also, I noticed that with find/replace, if case matching is not enabled, the 
system will replace upper case letters in a match with lower case letters in 
the replace. so if I have text   "Test test" and I find/replace test => text, 
the result will be "text text". Coming from an emacs background, I found this a 
bit counterintuitive. Is this intended behavior, an OSX issue, or something 
that needs a bit of code to fix?

There are still a few OSX issues (and some open areas to investigate) and I'll 
try to get a note out about those sometime this weekend.
