"Find" freezes editor window tabs

07 Nov 2011

It is not possible to switch from one file to another file (using the tabs at the top of the editor window) once the "Find" function has been invoked.

To reproduce:

  1. Open two files, such as main.cpp and main.h
  2. Click on a tab to select the first file.
  3. Enter CNTL-F to invoke the Find function
  4. Now click on the tab to select the second file. Note that although the tabs change focus, the file contents that are displayed do not change.

This is with FF3.6.23 under XP Pro SP3.
