Bug 61079

Version:           CVS (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

Please get rid of the find next dialog - it is a troublesome UI design. Ctrl-F for find dialog works great as is. But instead of the find next dialog there should be a toolbar combo box that contains the search string. Hitting F3 should repeatedly search for that string and allow any editor operations between find-next's.

The current find-next dialog makes the editor modal. The toolbar combo box scheme is non-modal - the search function is always active. Modality in an editor makes it much harder to use. Modal dialogs are also much more bug prone than non-modal ones.
