Leaving the search filter drops you to the bottom of the register
This is not user-friendly, here's the scenario.
I'm near the top of my register which is about 5 years worth of data. I have a record selected that I'm working on. I need to search for a transaction to get some category information, I search and it works well I find what I need. When I clear the search filter MD drops me to the very bottom of the register. Now I have to scroll all the way up to the top to get back to where I was.
The expected behavior was that I would clear the search filter and the record I had selected would be back in focus.

Hi Chris,
You can report bugs, vote on existing tickets and request enhancements if you register at: http://moneydance.com/trac/register
You'll receive an automated email that you need to reply to in order to complete the registration process.
In the meantime, as a workaround, after you clear the 'Search' field, click on one of the txns to return focus to the register and hit the 'Home' key on your keyboard.

Thanks Kevin! I'm glad you see this as a bug, as hitting the home key puts me back to the top of the register, and doesn't bring focus back to the record I was working with.
Although I suppose now you have to come up with a way to remember the selected record when focus gets lost. Maybe I'm not being reasonable :)

Hi Chris,
From my very limited knowledge of code, I beleive there can be seperate functions programmed into clicking the mouse button. One for clicking it down (mouse_down) and another for letting it back up. (mouse_up)
Therefore, after you mouse_down on the 'x' to clear the 'Seach' fileld, I think it's possible that the focus could be restored to the formerly selected tnx. upon mouse_up
I think you have a legitimate issue. You should create a Trac ticket for it.
