IDE editor hangs when ctrl F for search

n1bg — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 23:08:37 GMT

My editor hangs when I try to search for text using ctrl - F. Seems that the search dialog is running but is invisible (maybe off-screen). I was using 2 monitors and now don't have the second available so am using one. Maybe cw thinks it is putting the dialog on the second.

Anyone else have this problem?

There's an easy way to check and see if yor theory is correct. In the CodeWarrior IDE's editor, call up the Find function by typing CTNL-F. Now, hit the escape key, which should dismiss the dialog (the same as clicking Cancel), and you should get control of the editor back.

If it is a case of the dialog being off-screen, now go to the IDE (NOT project) settings panels. That's Edit > Preferences. In the IDE Preferences panels, pick the Editor settings panel. In the Remember group, uncheck Window position and size. To be safe, also uncheck Selection position. Quit the IDE. Relaunch the IDE, and see if the problem has been corrected.

I've had this problem with other applications, quite baffling until you figure it out.

In Windows in general if you have a stray dialog box you can often use Alt+Space, M, and then use the cursor keys to reposition the dialog box.

I had the same problem

I solved:

Reset: Edit -> Preferences -> IDE Extras -> Use Multiple Documents Interface (MDI)

Save Restart

Set: Edit -> Preferences -> IDE Extras -> Use Multiple Documents Interface (MDI)

Save Restart

the find Dialog reappears !!
