When using Find under Edit, as use next button, down or up, the area that the Find bar is displayed in shifts around.  As you scroll through hits of find, the mouse is suddenly on another function that moves paragraphs up or down - causing unknown changes to the document as you attempt to continue scrolling through the find hits.  This happens when a change in style between paragraphs occurs for different hits, for example if the hit is in a footnote versus main text.  Other style changes cause it too.  You have to return your attention to the find bar and adjust the mouse position after each next click.  But ... your attention is naturally focused on the text of the hit and you are scanning for the appropriate hit - so the the errors of the shifting Find bar location are caused - who knows when and where.  Find bar should be locked to a specific location in the window.
  Note in example jpg where find bar had moved up and another toolbar is where it was.
Thanks you.  Tim
