For keyboard navigation F6, F10, or <Ctrl>+<F6>, coupled with <Ctrl>+F allow
you to move between GUI elements and Findbar witout use of mouse.

And again, that is simply not a valid assertion, and is not how our Find bar
(or any Toolbar) is designed to work in the OOo, AOO, or LO GUI. The Find
toolbar object behaves like any other toolbar.

I've routed this back for UX-advise, but IMHO remains undesirable.

=> WONTFIX
