Open Find / Replace dialog in the current space. 
Set the window's collection behavior to include NSWindowCollectionBehaviorMoveToActiveSpace.

This tells macOS to always show the Find dialog in the current active space
(the one where you press Command+F) rather than following the application to
another space.

Resolves #1629
