Ok I did some more testing.

This commit is when the Find Dialog broke when running KStars on MacOS by double \
clicking the app:

I think that is the one you were hoping was not the one.  I still don't know why it \
broke it though.  Every time I run it from terminal or qt creator there is no \
problem.  It is just when running it by double clicking that is the problem.

Note that I did test playing with the environment variables in qt creator and that \
seemed to have no effect.  And it also didn't seem to matter whether kstars was \
packaged up or not, so it doesn't seem to be a packaging issue.
