If I go to Find (ctrl-F), and find what I'm looking for, I can then hit Esc to make the dialog box go away and get back to editing. But if I reach the bottom of the document, and wrap search and find again, then reach what I was looking for, the Find dialog does not have focus, and hitting Esc does not make it go away.
After wrapping a search and finding what I want, how do I then make the Find dialog go away? (Without using the mouse. :) ).
Thanks, -- John

Set it to autowrap https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#search then you don't have another dialog stealing the focus.
Otherwise I think its just how GTK works, the focus returns to the parent when the extra dialog is closed.

Ah, great!

Oh, wow. Selecting "Hide the Find dialog" seems to work even better for me. Thank you!
