Visual Studio 2015 RTM Find in Files dialog broken [closed]

The Find in Files and Replace in Files dialogs will not open. Neither through shortcuts nor through the menu items.

What could be the problem, how could I debug this?

Update:

The same dialogs are broken on my copy of Visual Studio 2013 as well. This started happening after uninstalling VS2015 RC and installing VS2015 RTM.

I thought i had this problem, but as it turns out, the dialog was not visible on my primary screen.

Using the find in files shortcut, typing some text and pressing enter did bring up the find results 1 panel.

The find in files dialog was open and undocked on my third screen which I don't actively use and had turned off. Visual studio 2015 enterprise had decided to put it there by it self.

After hitting "Ctrl + Shift + F", the main window will blink. Then hit "Win + Arrow left/right" until the search dialog appears on screen.
