Re: [libreoffice-users] Altered use of <CTRL>F in Writer

At first I was also annoyed  but now find that I like the new 
arrangement much better than the old function.

Since the small search box at the bottom of the screen is a toolbar, 
it can be moved.  I moved it to an unused piece of real estate at the 
right side of the top tool bar and then locked it in place.  Now it 
is always available.  I really like the fact that you can search 
either forward or back in a document without changing the default 
action of the old search pop-up.

To me it's a much improved feature.  Sometimes change is good.
