Yes , i think hitting find all (sorry that's the browse button) and
Ctrl-Enter is the same thing.

It's after that though , then when i close the upper search panel the
search results panel vanishes never to return.

hmm Ctrl-Enter isn't making a difference but it seems if i only press
Ctrl-F to open the search panel and not use the IDE Find button then it's
okay.

Only using the toggle button makes it go wrong.
it's gotta be something to do with that.

I think it's just a smaller button now , it doesn't say Browse, it's just a
magnifying glass picture (icon://16/find)
