I just set up a new site with 3.4.2 also and was freaking out a little bit when I could not find the option to choose what page was the front page. I thought I was losing my mind for a minute or two. They just moved it.

From the Dashboard select “Appearance”

Select “Customise” on the Theme that you are using.

A fly-out leaf will open that will give you options to select for the Theme. One of them is “Static Page”. You have the same choice as you did previously where any post, latest post or any page can be your static front page. It’s all good!

Any idea as to why it’s been working fine for more than a year and suddenly broke last night? The Pages are for general categories and haven’t been changed since the site was originally set up. The only thing that has changed recently is that I bought the Thesis theme a few days ago. It makes no difference when I switch themes. I know that wordprocessors induce some some hidden junk format coding however, it is the sudden spontaneous breaking that is confusing.

I am sure that some of the old Pages have had some text pasted in. Whether it was from Word is difficult to say as many of them are more than a year old. I am curious as to what problem this could create and what I can do about it. Thanks.
