When opening the find window from the menu, if the find/replace window is open the find window is rendered without any text input areas (i.e. the frame is empty except for a "help" button. The same happens when opening the find and replace window when the find box is open, with "help", "replace" and "replace all" buttons but no text areas. This issue only applies when the window is opened from the menu (Edit->Find or Edit->Replace), although it does not matter how the original box was triggered. Keyboard shortcuts (^h, command-f) do not have this effect.
I guess the problem is with focus/activated window
