The problem doesn't surface in context to any document but happens in
general. For example, I have Writer (or Calc) opened, with a new blank
document and click on any of the Arrow Button (without even touching the
textbox that accepts the word to search for) on the right side of Search
Textbox (as shown in attached screenshot), it looks for the word "Find" in
the document (rather than prompting me to enter search term), where the word
"Find" is not my search term but is the watermark of the Textbox. If I type
in any word the textbox, than the search behaves as expected. I hope I'm
clear enough to explain the situation.
