When attempting to use the Search or Replace functions, no dialog box appears.
In earlier version a dialog would appear with input fields and options, but nothing shows at all in this new version.

Re: Version 9.1.0 - No Search/Replace Dialogs
They're most likely out of reach. Wherever that happens to you (the program doesn't matter):
- Pay attention if the main window loses its focus. In older Windows versions the title bar would get a different color, so one could quickly tell which window had the focus (speak: was in the foreground). If this is still the case then the expected dialog window is shown.
- You can't see it, because it's outside the (current) desktop. Windows which are displayed but can't be seen can still be reached via keyboard:
- just press Alt+Space to bring up the system menu,
- then select Move,
- then hit one of the arrow keys (up, down, left, right... doesn't matter which) and
- then you can freely move the mouse to see your window again within the bounds of your desktop.

Had another go. I got the main textpad window to move. I then tried the Find panel and moved that. First couple of times I tried to move the replace panel nothing happened then I got the System Menu and could move it off the right hand side of my second monitor.
This is not very intuitive, but I have a way of getting around the issue, so thank you.
