Hi,
I occasionally run into a problem wherein, when I switch from Find to Find and Replace (or vice versa), the dialogue box disappears off screen, and isn't accessible at all. The only solution seems to be to shut Textpad down completely and restart.

As far as I can tell, the problem is related to moving/resizing the main window, which seems to move the Find box as well, invisibly. Then, when I switch from Find and Replace to Find, the box is not longer accessible. That's just a guess as to why this occurs.

It's a fairly minor issue, but frustrating when it occurs.

If this happens:

click into the main Textpad window.
now press the key combination that will open the dialog which gives the problem (I don't give the combination as it might vary depending on settings, e.g. Windows vs. Textpad keys ...).
Now press Alt+Space.
Then press the key for "move" (probably M - I don't have an english system available right now (you can check by prssing Alt-Space on a visible window)).
Now press one of the cursor (arrow) keys.

By now, the dialog should be attached to the mouse pointer (which should be cross-arrow).
Move the mouse a bit and you will see the dialog.
Move to where you want to have the dialog and click left mouse button.


(btw - this is windows behaviour, so this will work with any program ...)
