We're making progress with this. The IniForm dialog is a "modal
dialog" that should become the active window automatically. If not, it
should be available by Alt+Tabbing. If a user starts typing a search
string immediately after pressing Control+F, before the dialog
activates, Windows could get confused by the keyboard input and behave
strangely.
By the way, this approach to some TextPal dialogs was not my first
choice, but I was finding more stability problems with a prior approach.
I tried for several versions to resolve those problems in different
ways, and then eventually decided to go with the current IniForm
approach.
