Description:
I am confused as to why when I am editing queries in the query editor and hit Ctrl-F the focus switches to the simple text entry search box in the upper right corner. Hitting Ctrl-H brings up the Find and Replace dialog with the Replace tab selected (as expected), but hitting Ctrl-F does not bring up the Find and Replace dialog with the Find tab selected, it just moves the focus.

Note that you can hit Ctrl-H and then just switch the tab to Find to simulate what I would think is the right behaviour.

How to repeat:
Hit Ctrl-F when in some tab of the SQL editor. Focus goes to "simple" search in the upper right-hand corner. Find and Replace dialog is not opened.

Suggested fix:
Simply have the Find and Replace dialog appear with the Find tab active.

Thank you for the bug report. Please try Ctrl+Shift+F.

Just tried that. That brings up the Find and Replace dialog, but the Replace tab is selected when the dialog appears. Not a big deal, but the Find tab should be selected I would think.
