That's the problem. The window is not appearing. And resizing /dragging around does not reveal it. It has always appeared before; I am not a new user.

If not; try this: Select "Status Bar" from the "View" menu.
If it's already selected, deselect and re-select.
If the problem goes away in this way, Please let us know here. (Because it could be a bug.)

I know: When I try this, my system does not have this bug. it is not for you either. :)
I thought:
There is a bug that affects the user.
This bug prevents the "text formatting options" from appearing at the bottom of the window.
Is there something else in the same location?
Yes, Status bar.
Maybe, the user turns it off and on and the problem disappears (temporarily).
If so: it will be a clue as to how this bug appears is.
If not: In this case, we understand that my guess is wrong.
If you continue to have trouble, please attach the specific score you are having trouble with and give precise steps to reproduce the problem.
This sounds very similar to this issue #251711: Status Bar behavior
