Turn Off Double-Entry?

I also have been bitten by the design of the script editor window.
Since I usually have different palettes and windows open, I am in the habit
of clicking somewhere a window to activate it.  In the script editor, once
you do a find for "tCounter", it remains in the find input box.

Later I am switching windows and happen to click on the Replace button, and
without realizing it, I have replaced the string "tCounter" with empty in
every part of my stack script.  There is no undo for this, even if I
realized my mistake the moment it happens..  I wish I could get in the habit
of Always changing from the Find mode of a script window, but not yet.

I would prefer a hidden Replace function since it is so dangerous.
