Peter.
I am the user. It isn't hidden fields with strange properties that I cannot see, it is naked ones I can. I made a new stack, placed one field and one button. Put some text into the field. Are you seeing continued find boxes? I am using LC 4.5.3. Just playing around: on mouseup repeat 5 find myText wait 30 end repeat end mouseup "Find" box winks in and out.

The old HC behavior is what I see on LC. However, if the text string is in a hidden field for which the dontsearch property = false, you will not see the find box in that field, then if you find again and the next find is in a searchable visible field, the box will appear again. You may have to set the dontsearch property of various fields in the mouseup handler before you perform the find in order not to confuse things for the user. -- Peter Peter M.
