Mac OS X 10.11.6: Writer, Find does not work, but Find/Replace does

Using most up to date LB version. This is strange whether I use CMD+F or from the Edit Menu, the find does not pop up a Find dialog. However Option+CMD+F or menu bring up the Find/Replace dialog. Any suggestion?

The CMD+F should not invoke the dialog in recent LO versions; instead, a search bar at the bottom should appear (or get activated, if it is already visible).
