There’s a floating toolbar that allows you to perform cell actions like run, pin/unpin, and trash a cell - among other things. That toolbar completely obscures the code search window when you pull it up as well. The problem is particularly bad when you pull up search on a long code cell.
Here’s a screenshot illustrating what I’m talking about:
I’ve run into this too. We’ve been leaning on the underlying CodeMirror editor’s built-in search toolbar (the obscured one), but we also need to implement notebook-wide find and replace. I wonder if at that point we’d pull it out of the cell editor and make it harmonize better with the notebook-wide toolbar.
The plan is to move the find-and-replace functionality into a side panel, similar to the old editor, allowing you to find-and-replace across the entire notebook rather than just one cell.
