Request: Make TextPad's Search dialog *visible* in VNC.

If you connect to a PC via VNC (www.realvnc.com), TextPad works great *until* you try and do a search.

TextPad's fancy translucent search box does not appear to be compatible with VNC. It simply does not appear -- you have to guess what keyboard shortcuts to use within the search dialog (!).

I've been using TextPad for almost 7 years now -- and love it.

But this bug is a real problem since it prevents me from fully using TextPad when I'm on the road and connecting remotely.

Any chance of fixing this?? Or are there any work-arounds?

Thanks!

Have you tried to switch off the transparency?

Configure - Preverences - View
near the bottom of the display is
Transparent dialog boxes (on Windows XP/2000)
