The 'Find' window opens at a larger then minimum size. Also, resizing this window is not a sticky option. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a form 2. Open the 'Find' window 3. Resize the window to its smallest dimension OR 1. Open a form 2. Open the 'Find' window 3. Resize the window to preferred dimensions 4. Close the 'Find' window 5. Re-open the 'Find' window and repeat preceding steps 1 & 2 Actual Results: In the first case you can always reduce the 'Find' window to a smaller size. In the second case you will see that the 'Find' window opens again to its default size. Expected Results: That the 'Find' window will either open at a minimum size, or else to the previously resized dimensions. With slight rearrangement of the components (particularly the two tick-boxes) it could be made even smaller. The idea is that this only needs to take up the minimum of screen real estate when opening to avoid obscuring data fields. Making it larger than the minimum default that could be set may be less common that increasing the size. The present mode of operation is the same for tables and forms, we just illustrate it with a form.
correction: ... default that could be set may be less common that decreasing the size from the arbitrary size currently set.
