Created attachment 86928 [details] Screenshots illustrating the issue Initial configuration for AOO Writer: only Standard toolbar and Formatting toolbars are displayed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to Business Cards dialog File > New > Business Cards, "Business cards" tab page Notice Preview Field: nothing abnormal (according to AOO Help: "Preview Field - displays a preview of the current selection") 2. Close Business Cards dialog 3. Display Find toolbar View > Toolbars > Find Find toolbar shall remain floating. 4. Go again to Business Cards dialog File > New > Business Cards, "Business cards" tab page Notice Preview Field: nothing abnormal 5. Dock Find toolbar 6. Go again to Business Cards dialog File > New > Business Cards, "Business cards" tab page NOW you will notice that in Preview Field Find toolbar is displayed (grayed out). Attached file "FindInPreview" contains due screenshots. Remarks: (A) One might presume that it is possible to add more toolbars to Preview Field. It is indeed. Wall of four toolbars looks nice... (B) Glitch is also observable in AutoText dialog in Preview window. ( Edit > Autotext or Ctrl+F3 ) Please visit the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TAMQ0nlC22BiTIqpR-BBy4i1HGVwKQs5 where you will find short video demonstrating the issue (point (A) & point (B)). Definitely less boring than above description.
Bug confirmed both in Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 18.04 x64 running AOO 4.1.7 Changed the Hardware to PC, All because it occurs on 2 OSes
I have also seen the "find" toolbar to appear in the preview for "Indexes and Tables" in Writer (Insert - Indexes and Tables - Indexes and Tables) Sometimes you have to toggle "Preview" to see it. There is definitely something wrong with the preview component.

Definitely indeed. Another example is Mail Merge Wizard, step 5. See, please, attached screenshot, file name "Mail Merge Wizard". "To preview, or not to preview, that is the question,"

FYI this bug does not appear in OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 It was introduced in AOO 3.4.0 Since that was the first version of AOO, can it be considered a Regression?
