Search disappears on loss of focus

[shakethatweight-simon]

@drazenbebic I don't know if you have any thoughts on this already. We've noticed it's very easy for the search box and list of users to be hidden if the mouse looses focus over the element in the admin bar. I'm looking at methods to keep it on screen until dismissed.

@drazenbebic Using thickbox for the modal I've got a partial solution to this, but it needs a bit more work. Will finish on Monday and update this issue with my suggestion.

@drazenbebic Can you take a look at the commit above, solves usability issues with the admin bar sub-menu disappearing on a loss of focus. Displays as a modal overlay instead, using the thickbox code which is bundled with wp-admin for the plugin information modals. Works on admin and frontend (assuming that on frontend the theme has implemented wp_footer hook, which most of them will have one).
