[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53663] File Editor search / find dialog box doesn't function well, needs restructure

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #53663 (project octave):

Yes, I think the single find dialog box would be better.  I'm not sure exactly
how it should function; I think you're judgment would be better than mine, so
please do make the change if you want to.  To me, it makes more sense that the
dialog box simply contain the most recent search regardless of what editor
window it is in.  I think when people search for something in one file and
can't find it, they might search for the same thing in another file.

I typically keep code hunks I was working on (then took a break) in a *.diff
file, but I can't find such a thing for this one.  The change should be pretty
straightforward though.  I think a Qt Widget has some kind of focusInEvent()
signal.  When that happens for an editor tab, just have that tab disconnect
the search object signal/slots and re-establish signal/slots with the tab
using "this".
