1565190 - "Find next" (F3) does not scroll the page properly if "highlight all" is selected and text is found in textareas

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1467796

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[[:Chris78]]

Attachment: example.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open attached example file, which contains several textareas across a long page, so the page needs to scoll while using "find next" repeatedly.

Search for "find me" (ctrl+f) and turn on the "highlight all" feature.

Press F3 to repeatedly find next match

Actual results:

As soon as the next match is out of the currently visible range of the page, the page will not scoll to the next match. Instead it "flickers" and hangs at the current scoll position.
Pay attention to the first row of each textarea, since I numbered the textareas 1..12 for better understanding.
(manual scolling, however, will work of course)

Expected results:

The page should scoll in the same way that you would experience with repeated "find next" and "highlight all" NOT activated.

I found this to happen under:

• 60.7.2esr (64-Bit), Linux (OpenSuse openSUSE Leap 15.0)
• 60.7.2esr (64-Bit), Windows 10 (Server)

I can reproduce the issue on 60.0.8ESR Windows10.
However, I cannot reproduce the issue on 68.0ESR and later.

Ah, good to know it's not reproducible on 68.0ESR anymore.
So actually it's not a regression then, is it?

FF 60 ESR will probably reach its end-of-life soon anyway, and since it's not critical, this bug may be rejected imho.

Thanks anyway!

Looks like it's fixed in Firefox 68.1.0esr (64-Bit). Tested on Linux openSUSE/Leap 15.0 with the attached example.html.

Muchas gracias!
