Illustrator "divide objects below" doesn't do anything

I've been using AI for a really long time and today I haven't been able to use the "divide objects below" tool like I normally do. I overlap two shapes/paths together and nothing happens, not even a dialogue box. I did a factory restart for illustrator and nothing has been resolved. Is there something that I am missing here?

The "Divide Objects Below" command does not have a dialog.

 

You may be missing something, as well as me.

 

Can you provide a sample .ai file including an instruction that may explain what you are going to do there?

Zukitz,

 

How about this (the very beginning)?

1. Select the top object

2. Go to Object menu > Path > Divide Objects Below

3. Voilà!

 

This does not happen for you? There's nothing about this that would require a dialog box, as far as I can tell. And what Kurt said.
