[Pharo-project] Find and replace popup takes always the focus!
Hi (alain?). I wonder if this is a feature or a bug. When I open a system windows AND a find & replace popup, even if the system window is in front, when I click in the code pane of a method, the find replace popup comes to front :( I mean, it gets the focus. Thanks Mariano
Hi Mariano, It was supposed to be a feature, I mean for the find & replace window to always stay on top. A setting can be easily introduced to allow/forbid this. But, it should not take the keyboard focus: if you click on a code pane, for example, the find & replace window comes to top but the clicked code pane should keep the keyboard focus. It is the case here. Did you noticed something different ? Cheers Alain Le 28/12/2010 13:08, Mariano Martinez Peck a écrit :

i think that the problem here (as i understood), that search window capturing a global focus, while in reality it should prevent interaction only with window, where you activated search/replace function, so you should not be able to interact with that window, while still should be able to interact with another ones.

no, it only bring in front, but it doesn't capture the mouse or key focus. Sorry, I expressed myself bad, cheers mariano
so you should not be able to interact with that window, while still should be able to interact with another ones.

No, this is exactly the case. Don't worry. It is fine to be that way. It was just rare for me and wanted to be sure it was not a bug. Perfect for me. No, no need a settting, don't worry ;) thanks for offering!
Cheers Alain
