134529 - Find command sometimes fails to find desired text on page

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[austen ganley]

So far I've found a couple of problems when using FIND from the search menu:

The most drastic is that it doesn't always work (i.e. doesn't find something
that is there).  Not clear why some things are found, and others aren't.  I only
did this on one website
(http://rush.genetics.duke.edu/orthologs/index-sorted.1.html),  but it worked
correctly only 50%.

Also, the dialogue box has problems.  Sometimes the text already there can't be
changed, so you have to close the box and reopen to delete/emend.  Sometimes
pasting text into the box doesn't work.

Austen, what build are you using?  Are you still seeing these issues?  What did
you search for on rush.genetics.duke.edu ?

Austen, is it possible that you have searched for e.g. "dim1 human" on that page?
If so, did you notice that it really is e.g. "dim1_human", only that underscore
character isn't visible because it's a link (and links are underlined)?

Austen, please tell us what build ID you're using to report this problem, as requested in 
comment 1. Also, please report only one problem per bug. Report the second problem (about 
the dialog) as a separate bug. Thanks.

WorksForMe using Mac/2002072203. Searching for "Stajich" successfully found that text at the 
bottom of the page.

Reassigning to XP Apps: GUI Features.
