[racket] Strange editor behaviour

After lots of head scratching and experimenting I have a consistent cause.

It seems like the Search and Replace bar causes some problem.
It is only happening when the Replace text box is visible.

This weird behaviour disappears if the I click the Hide Replace button 
or choose Hide Replace from the Edit menu.

I've also noticed that S:C:R stops working after the Replace text box 
and buttons have disappeared. That is I can't Hide, then Re show the 
Replace text box.

I hope that helps you fix the problem, but I'm pretty happy now I know 
how to get the correct operation back again.

Thanks,
Bhrgunatha
