(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

Attachment: oø.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

Press ctrl-f for Find -> search for ø or å.

Actual results:

It matches ø as o, ö and ø, and å matches as a and å, and vise versa.

Expected results:

It should match å and ø as separate letters, just as it does with æ. I cannot remember it being a problem before version 89.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Find Toolbar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

You have to check "Match Diacritics" to get more strict matching. I think this was discussed before in other bugs.

Sorry, I didn't see any other issues in the suggestions that popped up. This is still not an ideal solution though. I would still like it to match e.g. é and è, as they are just variations on the same letters in my language, but ø and å are very frequently used characters completely separate from o and a that has their own spots in the alphabet. Is there some way of doing this in some setting somewhere like localization settings or some other config?
