Hi folks
Does anyone know how to stop the Find/Replace dialog box from always being displayed on top?

In Studio 2017 when you clicked on another window/program the Find/Replace dialog box would then be in the background, below the clicked window/program and no longer in the way. In Studio 2022 it is always in the way (on top) so I either have to move it out of the way, or close it then open it again next time I need it.

This happens in Windows 10 and 11 so presum... See more

This happens in Windows 10 and 11 so presumably it's a setting or bug in Studio 2022.

Any ideas? ▲ Collapse

I had always considered that behaviour to be an annoying bug (i.e. it made it very difficult to access the Find/Replace box again after it moved to behind the Studio window).

I prefer the behaviour whereby Cancel dismisses the Find/Replace dialog, and Ctrl+F or Ctrl+H brings it up again (with the previous search still in the box).

Here's what it looks like Jan 12, 2023

Find-replace
The Studio Find/Replace dialog box is always on top of the browser window (and every other window), also if I click in the browser window.

It's the only dialog box that does this. In Word for example the Search/Replace box goes to the background when clicking on Studio (or another program) and is displayed in the foreground when you click on Word again.

Not sure if this is what you mean Samuel but the way it works in Word makes more sense to me. Don't need to see the Studio Find/Replace dialog box in any other programs, just in Studio.

Always on top over every other program Jan 12, 2023

Thanks Stepan and Samuel.

I can understand adding an option to keep it always on top of the Studio window, but not by default keeping it on top of every other window of other programs you might switch to with no "Off" option.
