1. Open Find Toolbar. 2. Enter search term. 3. Use arrows to Find Next or Previous or hit return. 4. Close Find Toolbar. 5. Escape or click somewhere in the document to unselect text. 6. Open Find Toolbar again. Search term is still there, but Find Next and Previous arrows are inactive. 7. Clicking in search box and hitting return finds the next occurrence but the arrows are still inactive. 8. Deleting search term and re-entering the same or different search term results in the arrows once again being active. Should the Find Toolbar reset once closed? If not, the arrows need to be active.
Reproducible with LO 4.4.0.3, Win 8.1

Confirming this is still relevant with 5.1.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.11.5. (It's a mildly annoying issue I keep hitting.)
