To follow on Terry thought, I think find dialog box should stay open when 'Find' button is pressed, since there is a 'close' button to close it. That would also be a more accepted behavior similar to all the other editors I know. And on silly UI design notes: The 'close' button should be at the bottom instead of the top (and have a capital C) ctrl+f 'Find' button should say 'Find Next' like most other editors and also since that is what it does.
