Apple Bug Friday: Xcode Overly-Persistent Popup

Xcode 2.1 has a mostly cosmetic bug in its otherwise intensely useful "Project Find" window: the combo box's menu window doesn't close when its owning window loses focus. I say "mostly cosmetic" since if you don't back out correctly you can get windows in a state where they don't respond correctly to mouse clicks (for example, mouse-uncloseable windows).

Reproduction:

1. Open "Project Find" window.
2. Click the "Find:" or "Replace:" combo box down-arrows.
3. Click on another window while the combo box's menu is displayed.
