#534 two problems with win32 notepad clone

Two problems with Notepad when invoked via right-click menu for a .ly file:
(1) - search does not work. At all. Doesn't matter how you invoke it (F3,
from menu, or Ctrl-F), which options you choose, it just never finds
anything. Notepad by itself works fine, so it seems likely this is a
lilypond bug.
(2) less critical, but still a negative user experience: when opening an .ly
file for editing, the focus goes to the previous window (for me that's
usually the Windows Explorer view of the directory) rather than to Notepad.
This runs counter to practically every other Windows program I've ever used
- and counter to the way Notepad works when run under its own power - and
has caused me to mistakenly close windows and waste a lot of keystrokes
before I remember to alt-tab back to my .ly file. A definite usability
deficit.
BTW, this happens on both my office machine (running XP Pro) and my laptop
(running XP Personal).

(1) will be somewhat fixed with the next LilyPad release.
(2) doesn't seem to happen with current LilyPad on Windows.
Can someone clarify the steps to reproduce (2), or to verify that it's no longer an issue? I can't seem to reproduce the behavior.

I have *never* had a problem as you reported in (2) I use Lilypond on Windows 7 and have tested on XP. I am assuming you are referring to either right-click open with... context menu and/or once you have associated the .ly extension with notepad that when you double-click it opens in said program.
I have used 2.12.2 and pretty much most of the 2.13 builds (I use 2.13 solely now).

All LilyPad issues are postponed, since it looks like we would rather focus our efforts on a cross-platform solution.

I believe my latest update to lilypad fixes issue 1. Nobody apart from Graham has ever seen issue 2. I believe this is now, therefore, fixed.
