I don't consider this a bug since the find window really belongs to the
roster window, and that is hidden below the sliding window anyway.

I have a long bug/todo list myself just so I wont miss anything while
working on this slot stuff. It is a whole page. Nothing for the
tracker since it is just a lot of details.
