[OS X TeX] TeXShop 5.57 Find/Search suddenly not available

[Murray Eisenberg]

When I just downloaded and unzipped TeXShop-5.58-GG.zip under macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, when I open TeXShop-5.58-GG.app and select the "About" menu item, it says Version 5.57 (and has Copyright date 2001-2025, not including 2026).

Is that an oversight?
