Description jeffreylstevenson 2012-09-10 07:19:59 UTC 
When opening search and replace from the menu or Ctrl+F the search window will not open.  Windows shifts focus away from the open document where I am trying to search.  I have tried restarting the computer and uninstalling and reinstalling the product with the latest version.  The find/replace function does not work in the spreadsheet or text portions of the program.

If it could be opened before, and position values are invalid, the following macro can be set its position on the screen.

Sub SetWindowStateForSearchAndReplace
  id = "5961" ' search and replace on AOO 3.4
  cp = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider")
  a1 = CreateUnoStruct("com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue")
  a1.Name = "nodepath"
  a1.Value = "/org.openoffice.Office.Views/Windows"
  args = Array(a1)
  ca = cp.createInstanceWithArguments("com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess", args)
  If ca.hasByName(id) Then
    key = ca.getByName(id)
    key.WindowState = "100,100,,;1;,,,;"
    ca.commitChanges()
  Else
    msgbox "Not found: " & chr(id)
  End If
End Sub

1. Close your office and restart it.
2. Execute the macro above
3. Restart your office without doing noting on the office.
4. Open Search & Replace dialog on spreadsheet document, 
   the dialog should be shown if the problem is in the certain configuration.

the function to reset all windows state without to clear hole configuration would be help.
