Or just change the logic. Instead of "Find previous/next and then replace", do "Replace and then find previous/next". This strikes me more in line with what is common.
I agree the logic is unusual, pressing the replace button should cause: -) if the current selection matches, replace it -) then find and select next one (if any) Would it be ok ?
Guess the Close button can entirely go (there's already the dialog little close icon).
Concerning the Replace part, one possibility may be to move it to the "Advanced" pane, or to create another "Replace" pane.
As of now, the real problem is that the height of the dialog is not managed correctly and I don't know why. The dialog wants always to be much taller than strictly required, you can easily see the issue if you display the Source dialog on the bottom (or also the Progress one I think). They partially overlap :-( However, the Find... and Replace... WorkAreas can actually shrink vertically much more than the space they take.
On a related note, one further possibility may be to set always a smaller font in the Find... and Replace... WorkAreas to mitigate issues, but the too-tall dialog issue should be addressed.
