[issue22179] Idle. Search dialog found text not highlited on Windows

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

The first # comment above should be "On Windows, the selection highlight is *not* visible while the modal dialog is open."  This bug was, in a sense, introduced by #17511, which kept the dialog open after [Find] is pressed, instead of closing it immediately.

About the last comment: the selection tag does not need to be applied until closing. (Ditto for find/replace.)

The missing found highlighting for Replace is issue #18590
