--- Comment #2 from Nick Levinson <Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com> ---
I'm confused by your comment.

You say text "moves", but it does not.

You say "search results are never behind the dialog", but what the Find
function highlights can be behind the dialog, depending on where the dialog is
relative to the document, and sometimes the highlighted text is hidden by the
dialog. I assume your dialog does not jump aside, so it has to hide highlights
under some arrangements of document content and the dialog.

If the next found string is behind the dialog and so the dialog were to
auto-move so you could see the string, you could still click within the dialog.
That's because the auto-move would be done in an instant and then the dialog
would be stationary, and while it's stationary is when you could click in it.

You could position the dialog so that it almost never hides anything, by
dragging it to where only a small corner of the dialog is visible, but then you
can't click in it, because most of it would be beyond the window. Alt-keys
would work, but not clicking.

Safe Mode, which I've now tried, didn't change the effect I described. I didn't
drag the dialog and it still hid found strings (this time, "e") without
auto-moving.

This is from the About dialog:
Version: 6.3.4.2.0+
Build ID: 6.3.4.2-2.fc31
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Your build ID is different. So's the OS. Maybe those explain the difference in
our experiences, especially the OS.

I'm also not sure that this should be considered as a bug (albeit a minor bug)
rather than as a feature request, which is how I originally reported it. And
you don't seem to think it is a bug. Should we change that back?
