Find in Files Results tab closes when search parameters box closed

Post by Coemgen »

When Find in Files is run, the (non-docked) Search Results tab closes when the Find in Files search parameter's Close button is clicked:

A workaround, until this is fixed in the next release, is to dock the Search Results window.

Configure » Preferences » View » Dockable Output Windows » Search Results.

This is indeed a new problem in version 9.1.

I don't find the dockable window a pratical solution. With the non docked results you have more room to show the results.

The reason we would want to close the dialog box, and keep the results open, is that the dialog box covers up some of the results.

Recently jumped from 7.x to 9.1 and this is the second most annoying issue so far. I've tried docking my search results, but it's just not useful to me.
