Say I have two projects open in FB7.

When I open the search dialog and search for something, subsequent open of the dialog will show the previous find-result.

However, if I close one of the opened projects, the search dialog is cleared, even though the serach results were for the project that is still open.

Reproduce:

- Open P1, search for someting
- Reopen Search Dlg -\> Result still there
- Open P2
- Reopen Search Dlg -\> Result still there
- Close P2
- Reopen Search Dlg -\> Result was cleared

cheers, Martin

I’m not able to reproduce this here with the current build using those steps.

Too bad. I seem to remember it wasn't completely deterministic. Unfortunately no time atm. to try this out more. Maybe you can keep an eye open for this, it's not like it's a show stopper or something. :-)
