[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

Is this a possible regression from bug 1283042?

Comment 2

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

Highly unlikely. It's more likely to be caused by bradwerth's work on platform APIs helping the modal highlighting feature.

Brad, do you think your recent fixes also fixed this bug possibly?

Comment 3

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

Nothing I've landed would have fixed this. I noted the same issue in Bug 1340731. The caller of getClientRectsAndText seems to strip leading whitespace before drawing the highlight text.

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

OK, thanks Brad. I will check out what we're doing wrong.

Comment 5

[Nathan Froyd [:froydnj]]

This is for the new find toolbar, correct?  So our shipping releases are not actually affected by this bug, correct?

Indeed.

Another release, another twiddling of flags.

Comment 8

[Mike Taylor [:miketaylr]]

AFAICT, we're not shipping this yet. Setting to disabled for all current versions.

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last 7 months, so the assignee is being reset.

I am closing this as WFM as it is no longer reproducible with our latest nightly build 132.0a1 (2024-09-24) using Win 10 and macOS 11.
