1464582 - cyclic zoom level change after find as you type

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[lvm]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.3
Build ID: 20180403170858

Steps to reproduce:

prerequisites: find as you type is on

1. go to http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=40
2. type /fon
3. wait for the findbar to close or just wait for a few seconds if findbar is disabled



Actual results:

Try pressing a few keys - visible document zoom level starts changing in a 3-step cycle with each keystroke although the zoom level in the menu remains at 100%, no expected reaction to keys, all keyboard commands are affectively disabled on this tab. Reproducible in seamonkey 2.49.3 and firefox 60.0.1 in clean profiles. I am not seeing things :) Reproducible on other pages of this site where 'fon' is not actually found.

and one more thing: when fon (or font or 'font ' or just f) is found it is NOT highlighted on the screen even though the findbar reports the number of found targets.

I can reproduce it, weird.  I can't get it to happen with any text other than "/fon".  It's almost like your search string is being injected unescaped into a stylesheet somewhere.  Not sure whether it's a problem with the find bar or find as you type or something else.  Moving to find bar for now.

as I said, it is reproducible when the find bar is disabled (browser.findbar.enabled=false), so probably not the find bar.

The find in page is finding and highlighting the link @ 

    <a href="#" onclick="fontsizeup(); return false;" onkeypress="return fontsizeup(event);" class="fontsize" title="Change font size" style="">Change font size</a>

and when highlighted that code is going to change the font size any time a key is pressed
