x is missing from my Find Bar, and I can't exit from it.

Hi,

In previous versions when I used the Find Bar at the bottom of the Screen, it had an x on the left to close the bar. It is no where to be found now, and I don't know how to get rid of the found bar after I'm finish using it.

Mine has the x on the right end of the bar. I wonder why the difference?

You also can close the bar using the Esc key if the "focus" is in the bar. To make sure the bar has focus without having to use the mouse, you can press Ctrl+f. So that would be

Ctrl+f Esc

Thank you so much. The x is now on the far side of the screen. Before it was on the far left of the screen. Anyway, the problem is fixed.
