[Reproducible] with Server-installation of Master "3.7.0.alpha0+ – ENGLISH UI [Build ID: b255de8]" {tinderbox: Win-x86@16, pull time 2012-10-06 09:31:39} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/LOdev/3 May be we can also check other OS?
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today (d1439...), I reproduced the problem. I must add that when I select "find", I've got "Find" toolbar checked and can uncheck it but when find isn't checked, I can't see it in Views Toolbar. I don't know if it's linked but when I click on "Edit", I've got this on console: (soffice:21815): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (soffice:21815): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed several times When I click on "Insert" menu, I've got this additionnal trace: warn:legacy.osl:21853:1:/home/julien/compile-libreoffice/libo/comphelper/source/misc/namedvaluecollection.cxx:225: NamedValueCollection::impl_assign: encountered a value type which I cannot handle: com.sun.star.awt.XWindow (put all since it's reproduced with Linux too)
REPRODUCIBLE also on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel) with LOdev 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: dd11a1e; pull time: 2012-10-04 12:52:50). If I try to show the “Find” palette window/toolbar widged, only “something like a toolbar” (as Rainer put it nicely) appears: A completely empty, white nothing with a frame and a closebox, but no controls in it.
