Find dialog doesn't appear

I'll enter this as a bug, but thought I'd check here first to see if it's a known issue.
On my version of Torsion (latest, but also 1.0), when I hit Ctrl+F, or choose 'Find' from the menu, the find dialog box does not appear. (But if you type an entry and hit return, it will go find it. Doable, but tricky if one is prone to tpyos. Er, typos.).
The 'Find in Files' does work properly.
Any ideas? Let me know if you want me to enter as a bug.
Thanks

I suspect the issue your seeing is that the project tree has the input focus, so 'Find' is disabled.

Try this... click in the editor window first.I suspect the issue your seeing is that the project tree has the input focus, so 'Find' is disabled.

The application loses focus when engaging the 'find' (Ctrl+F) or from menu. (Top window bar goes from blue to faded blue).
The find works, just the dialog is invisible. (For example, highlight a word, hit Ctrl+F, hit 'enter', the next instance of word is found. Just no visible dialog box.) I've also minimized all windows to see if the dialog box is hiding behind something, but alas, no.
Replace does not appear.
Find in Files has the dialog box appear.
Find Symbol has the dialog box appear
I know this would be near impossible to debug with this being isolated on my system. I also have been living with it for months and it's just an annoyance, not a show-stopper. I finally got around to asking if it were a known problem.
Thanks for taking a look at it.

Do this... look in your Torsion install directory for preferences.xml. It's just a text file which can be opened with notepad. In there look for the tag... my guess is that the position it stored at one point was offscreen somehow. Replace it with "0 0" or remove the tag all together and Torsion will use the default.
I'll add a fix the detect offscreen placement of the find dialog.
