Default 2.4pre1 preferences: search field+button suggestion

I really don't like the scrollbar on the left in the preferences window which appeared in 2.4pre1. FIXED


This way

1. we could get rid of the scrollbar DONE
2. get a bigger (wider) search input field

you notice there is nifty mouseover text that appears there on many of the prefs panes?

Just on this topic, this Search feature is brilliant - with so many prefs and pages to work through it will make life a lot easier.

Just one suggestion - it's difficult at present to see where the txt string is found, it flashes on and off too quickly. Would it be possible to highlight it, similar to Firefox? Cheers.

I don't get a border around the option...So I am not fine with the current way it works...

I get no border, but maybe there's been a silent update?

I have had that occasionally, but it's mostly not...a highlight would be better anyway, easier to see.

funny enough, i just tried it again and what i had posted earlier is not happening 100% of the time. for some reason now i can't see what is highlighted, regardless of whether i use the search button or just hit the enter key while in the search field.....
