Issue #4811claims that the find dialog (or find pane) doesn't work.

Afaik, there have been no changes in this area recently.

Does anyone see the reported behaviour? I don't.

I just deleted all the *.pyc files and restarted Leo. Those four check boxes still don't work for me. I'll try on a Linux VM next.

I have tracked down the Find dialog problem to happen for all dark themes I could find - not just my own but also the dark themes in Leo's own theme directory.  Even the old "BreezeDarkTheme" causes the scoping radio buttons to not work - at least, on my Windows 11 system.

Since all my own themes were based on an existing dark theme, they probably all have whatever mismatch causes the problem. It's strange because I could swear these radio buttons used to work for me, and not that long ago. I wonder if a recent Windows update somehow caused this.

I have tracked this problem down. Apparently (according to Chatbot Claude) there can be complicated interactions between Qt and Windows as to which one is going to point various components such as radio boxes. Claude claims that there can be subtle bugs in this cooperation, and they could kick in with a dark theme vs light theme.

I added styling specifically for radio button indicators to two dark style sheets, and now the Find panel buttons work as expected. The CSS selectors involved are ones like "QRadioButton::indicator:checked" - there are three similar selectors. I don't think any of the current theme files have them. We must have been lucky in the past!

Now I have to make corresponding changes to all my dark themes and also the Leo's standard dark themes. When I have got them all working (let's hope that works) I'll submit a PR.
