I just noticed something.

Do you have more than one monitor? If so, is GnuCash on the main one or (one of) the secondary one(s)? The surest way to tell which is "main" is to open System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver (shortcut: control-click on the desktop and select "Change Desktop Background"). Each monitor will get a dialog, and on all the secondary monitors the dialog will say "Secondary Desktop" in the title bar and will lack the close/hide/fullscreen stoplight in the upper left corner; the one on the main display will be a normal system preferences dialog with "Desktop & Screen Saver" in the title bar.

If it's all yes so far, try moving GnuCash to the main display and then opening the Find dialog (cmd-F or Edit>Find). Do the dropdowns work now?
