Summary: General "Find All" Bugginess

Initial Comment:
I've noticed a few bugs in the "Find All" interface:

- When there are no results found, "Find Next" prints a message at the 
bottom of the screen; "Find All" jumps to a (sort of) random tab -- usually 
the "Compiler Output" tab -- and gives no indication that nothing was 
found.

- The highlights (underlines) in the document are robust to document 
changes, but the text in the results tab is not.  Just about any document 
editing seems to mess the results tab up.  Often, it enters a strange state 
in which two lines of text are squeezed into the single allotted line, thus 
clipping off the top and bottom.

- I find the "context" popup windows are often in my way, and rarely 
useful.  If I can immediately jump to the specific text by double-clicking, 
what use is there in waiting three seconds for a popup to appear?  And 
then when the popups do appear, they just won't go away so that I can 
read what's underneath.  If there is a compelling need for more context 
without actually going there, maybe a widget to change the amount of 
context displayed inline is a better alternative?
