Try making some change (any change, replace a character with itself) and 
then try again.
That would have been sufficient up until recently but Composer is 
gradually becoming less useable.  This is sufficiently annoying to me 
that I am running an old version of Seamonkey on an internal network 
where I frequently update html pages.

There is some people still using it. I suspect that, in fact, it is more
work than benefit to pull it out :-)

I use it myself for occasional tasks. It is not best thing on Earth, but
for simple tasks, it does the job.

Smithy, is it possible that a lot of the programming used to 
compose/construct an HTML webpage is also needed to compose an HTML 
e-mail, so any saving in removing the Composer program  might be minimal??

Work-around, probably, fix, no, because Composer isn't supported any 
longer.


I've found that when working in Composer, Find (with or without Replace) 
is a little cranky, and it takes clicking on the text area, and making 
sure that it's in focus, before I can use Find. Most of the time, that 
works, and the procedure is the same in all the tabs.  I don't believe 
that it's platform-specific.


I've always been puzzled as to why the SM developers continue to include 
the Composer, if it's not supported. Maybe it's more work than benefit 
to pull it out.


Over the last year or so, I've finally shifted to using the stand-alone 
Komposer, after Seamonkey updates disrupted use of the Composer once too 
often.


I don't know if there's any current maintenance of Kompozer (last 
release is 2010), and I believe that the most current Gecko HTML editor 
is Blue Griffon, but even that one was last updated in 2013.


With Kompozer, I know that it produces cleaner HTML than the Composer 
does, and Kompozer's usage procedure is nearly identical to what I've 
become used to in the Composer. By contrast, there's a few extra UI 
tweaks in Blue Griffon that I find uncomfortable to use.


In my experience, the only thing that I lose by using Kompozer over the 
Seamonkey Composer is the convenience of using Ctrl-E to open the 
Composer, when I'm viewing a page or document in Seamonkey.  With an 
external editor, I have to either navigate to a file, select and use 
"open with" (in Windows), or open Kompozer, and then select which file I 
want to edit.  That's a minor annoyance that I can live with.


And in the context of the original question, Kompozer's search/replace 
works more the way that you would expect it to.
