The inner guard inside the asyncExec callback of the find/replace
overlay's asyncExecIfOpen method used || instead of && and was missing
the negation on isDisposed(). Because containerControl is an instance
field set once at construction and never cleared, the sub-expression
`containerControl != null` is unconditionally true. Combined with ||
this caused the entire condition to always short-circuit to true, making
the isDisposed() branch dead code and the guard ineffective.
As a result, the async callback could invoke operation.run() even after
containerControl had been disposed in the window between the outer check
and the callback executing. The sole caller passes
FindReplaceOverlay::updatePlacementAndVisibility, which calls
requestLayout(), setSize(), setLocation() and layout() directly on
containerControl. Executing those calls on a disposed widget throws an
SWTException ("Widget is disposed").
Fix by changing the condition to `containerControl != null &&
!containerControl.isDisposed()`, which correctly re-checks liveness
before running the operation.

The inner guard in the find/replace overlay's

This allowedupdatePlacementAndVisibilityto run on a disposed container, causing anSWTException: Widget is disposed.This change fixes the condition so the operation only runs when the container is still alive.
