Description
What happened?
Some of my users reported my app becomes unresponsive using the ctrl+f find toolbar. I found out after you clicking back and forth the find toolbar and the main window, the main window will freeze and continue to eat up CPU.
This is reproducible simply using the official win32 getting started project and seems to have been mentioned in #1727.
Importance
Important. My app's user experience is significantly compromised.
