Ctrl-F opens it, but only if a file contents is displayed already.

This is not consistent with the behavior I'm seeing. Sometimes the subpane (you're calling it "Find & Replace," I'm calling it "Search," I think we mean the same thing)* is open when a file has been opened for editing in the left pane and appears in the center pane top; sometimes not.
Specific example:
Open book in the Editor.
Open a .xhtml (or .html or .htm) file to edit; pops (correctly) into the center pane.
Next step would be to do a global search and replace to, say, remove the UUID header... and this is when I notice whether the search pane is there.
The mystery is that I can't figure out what is causing this. It seems to happen inconsistently for all "legal" file extensions, and whether or not there's a designated or embedded cover, and whether or not it's a "native" epub (imported into Calibre as an epub) or a converted file, and whether or not it's the first attempt to search during that Calibre session. (N.B. I never manually close the search subpane, so it's not a persistence from a prior editing session.)
* I avoid saying "find" because when I try to help Mac users who've been using Macs for a long time but aren't actually all that sophisticated, they think I mean the [file] Finder. Sorry if that confused you.
