1302386 - Find highlights matches in the wrong place

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1302534

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Some highlighting is out of place. See the attached screen shot. Some of the incorrect highlighting can be connected to unmarked text, the source for others isn’t obvious.

When I scrolled the page the highlights on letters stayed on the letters but some of the unconnected highlights bounced around. I expect this is connected to behind-the-scenes change in the page but I didn’t investigate.

Seen with the 12 September 2016 Nightly on Windows 7. Also seen on Linux, but the page behaved somewhat differently and there were fewer examples.

(Removing regression keyword as the dupe has it)

Sorry, shouldn't have removed the regression keyword; making the tracking flags match the dupe instead.
