Ctrl+F and Ctrl+H doesn't work in SQL management studio

I cannot use the Ctrl+F and Ctrl+H in my SQL Management studio. Even if I use the menu items it doesn't work. Haven't installed anything new or changed anything recently. Any ideas?

I currently have this issue also, I am using two monitors but this appears not to be the cause. I say this as the instance of management studio that I have open has two queries - both are connected to the same Server and Instance. On one query, Ctrl+F works fine, on the other query it won't work at all.

I think this is in some way related to debugging - the query which does not allow Ctrl+F currently I mistakenly debugged (as opposed to running) and after this the find/find replace functionality does not work!

Perfect! multi-monitor causes this.. Just minimize VS. Put to the other monitor. You'll see opened window when you Ctrl+F

Have you recently used multi-monitor? Is it possible that it is opening off-screen? I get this problem a lot when disconnecting my laptop from an external monitor...

(edit) There is a Window -> Reset Window Layout menu option in SSMS 2008, that should fix it.
