I use a dual monitor setup. I typically have a script on each monitor and many times I use Ctrl-F to bring up search in whatever script I am editing. However, many times the search does not come up. So I end up having to click on another script tab and hit Ctrl-F on that one, then go back to the original “undocked” script and click Ctrl-F and then it will work (sometimes). In other words, I click on a script that I have undocked on another screen to activate the cursor/window. Then I click Ctrl-F and the search does not always popup. The fix seems to be clicking on another script tab and hitting Ctrl-F (which also does not always work), then going back to the undocked script, click Ctrl-F again to see if it will work. Not sure if this only happens when tabs are undocked. This happens on both my workstations which both have dual monitors.
Expected behavior
Expected Result: If I am working in a script, docked or undocked, on one monitor or two monitors, and I hit Ctrl-F, the search should pop up on that script that I’m working on. It does not always popup, so I have to jump around to different script tabs pushing Ctrl-F until it works, then I can usually go back to the script I need the search for and try it again hoping it will work.
The bottom line is if you are in a script and hit Ctrl-F, search should always popup in that script.
As a side note, it would be nice to be able to dock the search on all script tabs/windows so that I don’t have to bring it up each time.
Hi - I know this is an old issue but was curious if anyone is still seeing this particular issue? There has been some rework done in a related area which may have fixed the problem. Thanks.
Yes, I had the issue happen as of yesterday. Ctrl-F on an undocked script window and nothing (no find gui). So I have to click on a docked window, then back to undocked and then Ctrl-F works. It happens about every 1 in 5 times.
Ok, I was able to find a trigger that creates this issue almost 90-100% of the time. 1. have an undocked script on the side (does not need to be on a 2nd screen, just undocked). 2. click around inside the explorer tab (maybe an event in replicated storage or a part in workspace. 3.click on the undocked script and hit ctrl-F. most of the time the find gui will not show.
The fix for that one went in Oct 26. Can you please see if it’s still happening for you? I tried your repro steps a few times and it didn’t seem to immediately trigger for me. Thanks.
