'Search results' is shadowing all other files

Post by Gorgon »

Ver. 5.2.0(former 5.0.3)
When doing a search, the 'search results' window(file) is not placed in the document selector. I'm used to this from 4.7 (at work)
When double clicking on a line in the serach result, the correct file is selected, but it is not in front. I then have to close the search result window to get to the window behind.

The 'search result' is in a 'hard' focus and I can't reach anything behind it, without closing the window.

Using the 5.0.3 version, I saw that this supposedly was fixed in the 5.1.0 version, and I upgraded to 5.2.0.
With no change of this problem.

I'm programming in assembler and have around 50 open files to search in, and go to, so closing the search results every time is a real pain. I'm depending on this feature and used to it from the old version I'm using at work.

Does anyone have an idea of what to do?

Configure/Preferences/View. Uncheck the "Dockable windows" option.

I hope this helps.
