1719369 - Selecting a URL search result doesn't highlight the URL

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P3)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

When selecting a search result that represents the URL of the request the Headers side panel is selected but the URL is not highlighted.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the DevTools and select the Network panel
2. Load this bug report
3. Open the Search side panel and search for bugzilla.mozilla.org
4. Expand the first entry in the search results
5. Select the result that says "URL https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/..."

Actual result: The request for the page is selected (OK) and the Headers side panel is opened (OK). Though the URL itself is not selected/highlighted.

Expected result: The URL or maybe just the matching part of it should be selected.

:sebo, if you think that's a regression, could you try to find a regression range using for example mozregression?

It's actually not a regression. I've tested it with Firefox 72 which had the old UI for the URL in the Headers side panel and it also already had this issue. Probably because the field is generally not highlightable.

Yep, this would be nice extension of the Search feature (we've never supported that)
