[Bf-committers] Search Field for browsing Shapekeys

[CoDEmanX]

The popup closes too easily indeed (if you click on search list entry 
outside of the popup's rectangle), but one can add an empty column, 
scale it's height and add a separator to match the search list size to 
workaround this problem:

I know this is against Blender's design concept, but what about adding 
another popup type, which requires to click either on Abort or OK, and 
doesn't close on other user input? For certain situations this would be 
quite useful.

When I need to call the "blend from shape" operator, a huge rectangle appears listing all of the shapes. These is really not practical, and it is a huge problem if you don't have the necessary screen resolution.
