Hey, here's a little UI issue in the 4.x viewer (I'm not sure if it happened in 3.x or not):

In the ebook-viewer Ctrl-F to find in document, type in a search string. Using "Enter" finds the next match after the current one.

But if you jump over a file border, focus in the find mini-window is lost. You have to click in the window again or something to find the next match. This makes finding strings in large documents somewhat awkward/annoying. Use Ctrl-F and hitting Enter repeatedly is pretty standard in other programs, so it's unexpected behavior.

It's a pretty minor thing, but I thought I'd mention it in case it's easy to fix.
