Menu
Good afternoon
is there anyone who noticed that Find and Replace window each time is getting wider when coding and compiling?

Even when I resize this window in Visual Studio 2010, it gets wider again... :-(
Perhaphs is there a way to fix its size?

You can find and replace text in the Visual Studio editor by using Find and Replace (Ctrl+F or Ctrl+H) or Find/Replace in Files (Ctrl+Shift+F or Ctrl+Shift+H).
To arrange tool and document windows, you can place your cursor on the title bar of a window and then drag it to where you want it. Alternatively, you can right-click the title bar of the window to use its context menu, or you can use the commands on the Window menu.
There is a Microsoft Connect issue on this, and the issue was closed, saying:
The Find Dialog growing is a known issue that we will be fixing for SP1.

There's actually a couple other duplicate cases, but no posted workarounds.
I don't know how long it will be until SP1 comes out. The answer in this post suggests 6-11 months after release, which would put it at October 2010, at the earliest.
The "workaround" that I'm currently using is to simply dock the Find and Replace window in the IDE (I personally put it on the left side under the toolbox). Obviously, this doesn't allow the window to widen every time you use it.
