v10.19 Windows 10 - CTRL F not working in notes

[HSColorado 0]

Search works fine from the left menu and finds the search string in the note, but  I cannot do any searches from inside the note now. I can't even type text in the CTRL F popup window and I can't get the CTRL F popup to go away. Always worked fine. What happened?

 

UPDATE: after updating to 10.19 the search using CTRL F inside a note is REALLY slow. typing a character in the search popup in the note takes 10 seconds  to appear. It works just fine from the main left menu.
