find and replace tab not visible

even after clicking the tab of find/replaces, I am not able to see the dialog box. I thought it must be hidden somewhere on the side of the screen, tried to use the move command but still not effective. please suggest

  • After you select the Find/Replace menu item, go to the Window menu. Is the dialog listed there among your open dialogs? If it is, what happens if you click on it there?

    José is right - sometimes dialog boxes can get "lost". The Wiki article he links has a lot of options to "recover" it.

    If all else fails, you can delete your user preference files & XMLs, which will restore all dialogs and settings to their default. You will have to re-set all of your preferences, docked dialogs and such, but the lost dialog should become available again. Do try the other options first, to save yourself that work.

  • RMB on desktop and  choose graphics   and change to lower resolution  just temporary and the naughty missing dialog will  appear and  you  can move it then return or restore the resolution .. I also use it to move dialoges that you can grab the tops .

  • We've had this issue too and it seems to be a fairly common issue.  I've posted an idea for a find dialog box button that would show a list of open dialog boxes and then move the selected one front and center.  

  • my  rmb and  and resolution trick is really easy and  fast  once I have found the missing tool dialog and with my video card it asks if I want to revert to previous  so I say yes  and all is well  again take me  say 3 - 5 seconds and then a save settings and works in Connect  and V8i this way..
