find/replace function no longer useful

haha. Yep, it is a bit funny.
But don't start that war, lets keep it hush-hush. We don't want KevinH and KovidGoyal coming to blows.

It's find/replace looks almost exactly like the one in sigil. It is obvious how to have it search all CSS. The otherone has a completely different file-type dropdown that only has 4 options and none of those are "All CSS Files".

I can't begin to fathom how the same app can yield such wildely different results on 2 ostensibly identical systems.

Any thoughts?

I am assuming you only EVER used OFFICIAL Calibre installs. Distro packages are notorious for doing it THEIR way (without all the testing that gets done for Kovids version).

The Editor has its own set of preferences (L&F is just one)
Once installed, Calibre upgrades almost never touch those settings.
