When double clicking a transaction in Find and Replace a new MD session is opened
Because I currently setup a new database with multiple accounts I use Search and Replace very often. However, when I double click a transaction on the Search and Replace result screen, a new MD session is opened. And this happens again and again. I would have assumed that every time I use the double click the very first session is going to be used to show the transaction in the account I had selected.
Attached is an example how many session I currently have open according to the windows pull-down menu. The top one is the session when I started MD, all other ones got opened after the double click in Search and Replace.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a setting I can change to only have one session open. It does not seem normal to have all those session created.

Yes F & R is geared to open up a new window for the register when you double click on a transaction and leave the original F & R window open.
When you are finished there just close the window, I believe that is the design intent, it is certainly possible that you may want to have a window open on more than one transaction at a time.
Find and Replace has no ability to set and save options.
