Description Ian Balchin 2014-06-09 09:16:12 UTC

The 'Look In' box that shows field options for the search is not sticky across tab changes _if_ left open.

If it is closed before leaving the 'Form' tab, and then reopened in the 'Query' tab, then it will show the same field originally selected from when open in the 'Form' tab.

This bug only performs when the Find box is left open across tab changes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a Query
2. open a Form
3. in the Form open the Find window
4. select a field from the 'Look In' box
5. move to the Query tab
Actual Results:  
An instant change in 'Look In' from the selected field  to 'All Fields' can be observed.

Expected Results:  
That the selected field would remain selected

So when returning to the 'Form' tab it is necessary to reset the 'Look In' field again. The other options 'Search' & 'Match' are not affected.

This is a real little hassle. Can this be prioritised for the next release?
