Change in Find dialog behavior with Mission Control spaces in macOS Tahoe 26.2 #1629

@xwmx

Description

@xwmx

Steps to reproduce

To reproduce, open a MacVim window in one Mission Control space, use Command+F to open the "Find" dialog, then open a second MacVim window in another space and use Command+F to open the "Find" dialog for the second window. On my system, macOS jumps back to the first space and opens the "Find" dialog for the second window in the first space. When a search term is entered into the "Find:" field and the "Next" button is pressed, the search is performed in the second window, but macOS stays on the first space with the "Find" dialog.

Expected behaviour

The expected behavior is that when the Command+F is pressed on the second space, the "Find" dialog would open in the current second space rather than the first space. This was the behavior in the past.
