1947273 - Browser Console search does not maintain position when widening search

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 992594

(DevTools :: Console, enhancement)

Description

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

Suppose I have lots of messages in the Browser Console. If I filter, say down to a single message, there's no obvious way to "stay" with that line and see more context as I widen the filter (eventually down to nothing). This makes it almost impossible to find a needle in the haystack.

What I want is for focus to stay with the line I click or something similar, even as I widen the filter so that I can see the surrounding lines.

This looks like a duplicate of Bug 992594 or Bug 1868747 , we should really try to work on those at some point
