Oh I see, yes there is a tiny "Find Text" box that appears in the upper-
right edge of one of my toolbars, but even when I click on the arrow
button to expand it, some extra functions are available but still no
text box to see what I'm searching for. So this bug seems to go back to
a design flaw. This toolbar is on the extreme right-hand side of my
screen, and there's no text box. I now see how I can move it to the left
side, in which case the text box appears. But to have it as one toolbar
among others, and to make it so the whole thing can disappear off the
edge of the screen, doesn't make any sense. Why put it in a toolbar as
opposed to (as the vast majority of applications do these days) in a
little text box in one corner of the main text area (as in Firefox or
Gedit). As-is it gets lost very easily.

Title:
  Libreoffice "Find" window invisible

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to oneiric, whenever I press Ctrl-F or click on Edit
  -> Find in LibreOffice, no dialogue window appears, yet I can still
  enter a search term (without any visual feedback) and press Enter and
  LibreOffice will find the first instance of the word. 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.
