Ctrl-F opened the find box, and Ctrl-F would close the find box leaving you in the location of the find that was found. Browser do not work this way. This version is using the browser way instead of the typical software UI. This creates a major problem for anyone who has ever worked with any type of software, and in long documents, or spreadsheets where you need to add or edit input this makes it take twice as long as now you need to click with a mouse. I know the world loves mice, but for anyone who knows how to use a keyboard this is a huge time suck. I tested this in both the spreadsheet in the writer. I can't believe this is acceptable in a office product. I would think this would also be a problem for accessibility as well. I'm not sure what version this started in, as I was using a old one and just deleted and installed this one. I don't remember what one it was. Even opening the "old" find and replace box produces this. This can be changed back to default by editing the Keyboard in Customize, however I don't think this is how it should be, or this needs to be something that is an easy choice via the Options. I also found that ctrl-alt-f produces the original default effect. It's a bit much imho to think that people who have been using software for years with a ctrl-f expectation will know how to fix it. They are just going to think something is broken. Which is what I did initially as well, until I started reading some items here. Ok, can you tell this freaked me out? I think that this has the potential for a huge issue for anyone who has been using OOo or LibraOffice for a few years.

Strangely, "Find and Replace" still brings up the window. Only simple "Find" doesn't work correctly. I thought this was a problem with Unity's compositing, but then I tried LibreOffice under 2d Gnome and have the same problem consistently.
