#4141 jEdit loses focus on closing search dialog after failed search

[jonathan chetwynd]

Apologies if this has been fixed.
jEdit 5.5.0 Ubuntu Java 11.0.25

Open Browser or any other application,
open any document in jEdit,
open search dialog, type in any word that will not be found, after search
Close dialog.
On my setup, Browser window grabs focus, jEdit has lost focus, and is behind.

desired result: jEdit retains focus, and remains visible on top

When search result is found this does not apply.

my search term was fidd in a short document with Fidd,
I had not ticked ignore case at this time.

regards...

FWIW: I'd also appreciate docking search

I was not able to replicate this on jEdit 5.7.0, Java 25, macOS 27.2.

Steps I used:

With another application window open behind jEdit, open a short file containing the word “Fidd.”
Open the search dialog (⌘F), search the current buffer for a word not in the file (“abcd”), with Ignore case unchecked.
Close the search dialog.

Result: jEdit remained in front and kept keyboard focus; I could type in the buffer immediately.

It's possible that this bug has since been fixed on jEdit 5.7.0 or that it's a Linux specific issue, possibly due to the desktop environment used.
