159971 - no Cancel button on Find dialog, even though Esc works

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas F. O'Connell]

this is not a big deal, but, as a bug, it's worth mentioning. despite the lack
of a Cancel button on the Edit->Find in Page... dialog, Esc does close the
window. still, it would look better, probably, if the interface button were there.

to reproduce:
1. launch Navigator.
2. visit http://chimera.mozdev.org/
3. hit Cmd-F

no cancel button. but, if you press Esc, the window closes.

Confirmed using Chimera/20020724. (Note that Mozilla's Find dialog includes a
Cancel button.)

Isn't the red close bubble good enough since the key stroke works?

None of the Apple-built apps I've checked - including Mail, Project Builder,
AppleWorks, Terminal, and TextEdit - have a Cancel button in their Find dialogs.
Their behavior is, essentially, the same as Chimera. However, both Internet
Explorer 5.2 and Mozilla (as mentioned) have a Cancel button in their Find dialogs.

I'd say we keep it as is, with no Cancel.

actually, after comparing to other OS X apps, i agree. i'd be fine if this got
filed as WON'T FIX.

wontfix per comment 4
What on earth would it mean to cancel a "find" anyways???

The window no longer closes when you hit Find either.

Verified 8-10-2002. This actually isn't an issue anymore 'cause Esc doesn't work
anymore.
