197246 - Find as you Type does not honour current frame

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 185824

(SeaMonkey :: Find In Page, defect, P4)

Description

[Luiz-Otavio Zorzella]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Contrary to finding with a CTRL-F, the find as you type does not start at the
currently selected frame, but rather always starts at the "firt" frame. I.e.
from the url given (javadocs for jdk 1.4), typing "/drag" will always match
first the left bottom frame, even if the right frame is the current frame.

Reproducible: Always

Once upon a time, regular find didn't work with frames either.  Thankfully that
has been fixed.  However I confirm this with search as you type find.

To reproduce:
Go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/ and click in the large frame. 
Start typing 'java' which is found multiple times as the link text in every frame.

Expected results:  
The first occurance of Java is found in the large (current) frame.

Actual results:
The first occurance of Java is found in the top left (first) frame.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

updated test URL.

also, this doesn't seem to be a problem in Firefox aviary1.0 (branch) builds.
although it is problemative in Firefox trunk bits.

I should note that the same behavior occurs with iframes (the currently selected
iframe is not used for Find As You Type, only the parent frame)

[Ricardo Sánchez-Sáez]

I suggest adding to the summary 'Searching text in webs with frames not working
correctly' or something like that, it would avoid duplicates.

I think this should be more severe than "minor".
