UPDATE - yes that's it. I restored the original-epub backup for more testing. windows copy + paste fails like I said. BUT select text then open find/replace ( which populates the box for you) works.
I cannot reproduce the issue. See attached screenshot. I'm with Calibre Portable 1.17 (outside home ) on a W7-64bit laptop.

It doesn't matter how I fill the box (either Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V or directly Ctrl-F over the selected text).

Two suggestions:
  • Update to 1.17
  • Please perform more tests with other strings. I think that there's something weird hidden about S&R. Please, if possible, check this bug I reported to Kovid, which he cannot reproduce either. (It's normally "hidden" in the Calibre Bugtracker as it is marked as Invalid for the time being. From the start bugtracker page you have to go to advanced search and check "Invalid" items in order to make it shown, or you can directly reach it through the posted link)
