"Find" command keeps "Find" control active. #314

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Hit CTRL-F. The "Find:" textbox becomes active.
2. Type something in and hit ENTER. The code window selects the next text 
found. But the "Find:" textbox remains the active window; not the code 
window.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

EXAMPLE: I hit CTRL-F, type a search string, hit ENTER, and the next text 
found is be selected (as it does now). Then I type something to overwrite 
what is selected and the search string in the "Find:" textbox is 
overwritten instead. Not intuitive and not an common idiom!

EXAMPLE:  I hit CTRL-F, type a search string, hit ENTER, and the next text 
found is selected. Then I want to scroll down using the mouse wheel (or 
the arrow keys) and it scrolls the search box instead. Instead, I have to 
hit ESC to get out of the window before I get control back to the code 
window.

The code window should get focus immediately after hitting ENTER. The F3 
button is all that is normally needed to continue searching from there.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.9.9.7 on XP

This was changed following user feedback, so that the user can keep pressing 
Enter to
find the next occurrence.  When you want to move back to the editor just press 
Esc.
This is how Firefox and Microsoft Word works.
