Hi! Two days ago I updated to Calibre 4.21, and since then twice the built in editor has hung when I've been doing a find/replace command. It just sits there, doing nothing until I kill the process and restart the editing session.

It doesn't seem to matter what I'm searching and replacing, it just hangs. I've looked at a task manager, its using about 27-34% of the CPU, the numbers fluctuate. This hasn't happened before on the previous builds, Windows 10 and drivers are supposed to be up to date.

Is this a known issue? Is it MY issue? It makes editing epubs frustrating as I have to keep saving in case I need to kill the process.

I'm wondering it it has something to do with the dynamic preview window, trying to update all the instances and just hangs. I've turned off the dynamic preview update, which is frustrating as I usually use it to check my edits - I'll see if that helps.
