Re: Annoying behavior of single-file Find/Replace dialog

Yes, it's been around for ages. I don't know if it's an Xcode bug or a Cocoa bug. And frankly, I don't care. I can only envision what the engineering meetings have been like when this issue has been brought up (assuming it ever has been brought up):

Xcode Team: It's your fault.
Cocoa Team: No, it's your fault.
XT: No, it's YOUR fault.
CT: YOUR FAULT!
XT: YOU!
CT: YOU!
XT & CT: Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! Mommmmyy!

It doesn't seem like it would take a frickin rocket scientist to fix this problem.

John,

Happens all the time to me. The only thing I can do to completely fix it is to quit and restart Xcode. This annoying and glaring bug has been around for a _long_ time and has been reported many times. I'm very surprised it wasn't fixed in 1.2.

...but the focus does not move to the replace field. Instead my laboriously entered search string is replaced by the previous search string. Very annoying after the 100th time.

Hitting 'shift-tab' instead of 'tab' is a work around, but still fiddly and annoying.
Once the replace field has the focus, hitting 'tab' or 'shift-tab' does not change the focus back to the search field - a related bug?

This seems like such an obvious bug in XCode.
The fact that it wasn't fixed in 1.2 suggests that others aren't seeing it?
Does anyone else suffer from this problem?
Maybe it's something to do with my setup?

Thanks in advance for any feedback or suggestions,

John.
