rather than setting the search text any time there is a selection made with the dialog open.

I must be missing something, when was this ever proposed behaviour? Unless I'm completely missing the point of this Issue, the goal is to do exactly what it does when the find dialog is hidden, that is, when you press Ctrl+F, the current word under cursor/selection gets filled in the search field. The only difference is that it would do it every time you press Ctrl+F, not just if the search dialog is hidden.
