I've just checked on Mac OS X: with 2.6.6 you can open the script
editor, type apple+f to get up the right Find-window. With 2.8.1 you
do not get the right one, nor when clicking in the script editor
window. You have to use its menu.

Yes, only on Windows XP. The scrollbar tool is sometimes selected
(hence the cross cursor) in a typical work situation as:
I open the mc.exe- file. Ctrl+ o to open a stack, work on it, open
another stack with ctrl+o and then the cross appears. Or I close a
stack writing "Close this stack" in the menubar, opens a new stack
and then the cross appears. Sometimes when opening the first stack as
well.
