Cheers for the easy reproduce, I am surprised by this behaviour and have been closing bugs where I have assumed that the page was culling invisible dom nodes, I didnt think we would be doing the culling

Mike assuming this is known behaviour, is there a larger bug to dupe to for this?

why status is UNCONFIRMED while there are duplicates?

Comment 4

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

I don't think there are duplicates as specific as this, so I'm going to confirm this one and keep it open.

The work we need to here, I think, is to continue to allow finding text in invisible nodes for the find string as typed in the input field and the ones collected by the matches counter.

Don't see this bug, so am going to close. Please reopen if this is still an issue.
