Find/Search window not dockable anymore?
-
Hi there,
the N++ documentation states: »The Search results window by default appears docked at the bottom of the Notepad++ main window. Like other such windows, it can be moved or even be a free-floating window.«
However, I am not able to dock it.
I read this post:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/16672/how-to-dock-find-results-widow-to-the-right-of-text-window/13Still, I am not able to dock the find/search result window, even with a new portable N++. I am able to dock and undock all the other panels like Document List, Clipboard History, Document Map or Function List.
It is very annoying to have it floating, as it overlaps the search results and having it semi-transparent only makes it harder to read stuff in the window.

Tested with versions 7.9.5 portable and 8 installed.

It works for me: I can drag it from separate window down to the bottom and have it dock, then drag it back to undock:
That was a fresh v7.9.5-64bit portable.
Not shown, but I can make it dock to any of the four edges, not just the bottom.
I have the same experience in my v8.1-64bit normal version.

Okay, I did not know this dialog window was there. I meant the window opened with Ctrl+F. That is probably not dockable then? (Like the incremental search…)

The Search Results window is the window that was talked about in the discussion you linked to, so I assumed you were talking about that window, too.
The Find window has never been dockable. Sorry.

Yes, I mixed things up and had a wrong expectation therefore. Still thanks for your help.
