STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. ctrl+alt+i 2. Choose any effect. For example 'Curve' 3. Choose one of the curve effects OBSERVED RESULT 'Find Action' dialog disappears without explanation EXPECTED RESULT Some orientation like a dialog box that indicates a clip in the timeline needs to be active. Or even better, ask which clip you'd like to administer the effect to.

I agree, that it would be better to have a dialog box with the message that the user acknowledges but returns them to the Find Action window. Ok, to change to Wish List item?
