Description Arkadi 2006-10-10 21:57:02 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
-----This is from the Help-------
3.1.4.6. Find Transactions

There are four selections in the Type of Search pane. When a new search is started only the New Search button is selectable. The other buttons become selectable only when the Search Results register window is visible.

   *                    New Search: Perform a new transaction search

   *                    Refine current search: Search within the results of the previous search.
-----This is from the Help-------

In my experience I could never get to a Find-window where "the other buttons become selectable", that is,
- I'm clicking 'Find' in the Find-window
- get a Result-tab
- the Find-window disappears
- do Cntrl-F
- get Find-window with only New Search button selectable

Steps to reproduce:
see the description

Actual results:
see the description

Expected results:
see the description

Does this happen every time?
yes

Yes, the Find-window disappears immediately. I'm unsure when this was changed compared to when the docs was written.

Comment 4 graham lane 2010-02-09 14:58:42 UTC 
I have tested this on a windows XP machine with 2.3.8, and the refine search function works fine.
The search window still closes after each search and I wish it didn't
Comment 5 Tony 2010-07-03 22:12:41 UTC 
I just tried this on Mac OS X 10.5.8 w/ GC 2.2.9 and got the bug result.
Comment 6 Geert Janssens 2011-11-21 15:15:18 UTC 
GnuCash 2.2.9 is no longer being maintained, version 2.3.8 works fine (according to comment 4) and I just tested with version 2.4.8 on Fedora, which also works fine. So I will close this bug report.

If you still encounter this bug in the latest stable or development version, please feel free to reopen this report or create a new one.

Thank you for your report.
