it's a standard behavior for apps on the platform, it's something that Xcode
should adopt and conform to unless we have some special reason not to. I
personally *really* like this behavior.
I can't say I agree, because this isn't a case of that. What's happening is
not that the local find picks up something I did in the Find of another app;
what's happening is that it is being influenced by the global search. These
are two very different things and the one should not bleed into the other.
The global search should not have anything to do with NSFindPboard, in my
view. m.
