2) In Nightly search for four spaces with the new Find Toolbar.
3) Delete lines 5 and 6 of the file, save the changes, refresh the web page in Nightly.
4) Press <control-F><Enter>.

Expected result:

Typing the search string over (instead of control-F,enter from step 4) will cause the match areas to be recalculated.

This problem no longer exists in the current Nightly release.

There is still a problem -- the counts are incorrect after the refresh -- but I would put that in the same category as bug 368742 where the count doesn't change when a link is followed.
