✅ Validated

VALID BUG - Confirmed in source code

Component Found: src/components/SearchEditor.tsx (lines 545-553)

Bug Confirmed: The openMatchInEditor function uses a fixed setTimeout(..., 100) instead of an event-driven approach:

const openMatchInEditor = async (file: string, line: number, column: number) => {
  const projectPath = getProjectPath();
  const fullPath = projectPath ? `${projectPath}/${file}` : file;
  await openFile(fullPath);

  setTimeout(() => {
    window.dispatchEvent(
      new CustomEvent("editor:goto-line", {
        detail: { line, column },
      })
    );
  }, 100);  // <-- FIXED 100ms TIMEOUT
};

Accessibility Verified:

• SearchEditor is exported and used in AppCore.tsx via SearchEditorWithState wrapper
• Accessible via Command Palette ("Open New Search Editor" - defined in src/context/CommandContext.tsx line 3035)
• Accessible via SearchSidebar button (line 1338 in src/components/SearchSidebar.tsx)
• The openMatchInEditor function is triggered when clicking on search results in the Search Editor

Not a Duplicate: Issue #39506 reports a different bug (50ms delay on input focus) vs this issue (100ms delay on file navigation from search results).

Note on Screenshot: While the video shows a loading delay issue rather than the specific 100ms timeout behavior, the CODE itself confirms the bug exists - using a fixed timeout instead of waiting for the editor to be ready via events.
