202163 - caret mode: caret disappears after finding text (FAYT text mode)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Find In Page, defect, P5)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

while browsing in caret mode, if initiate find as you type to find text, the
caret disappears.

not sure if this is another variation (same cause) as bug 169297. it's not
exactly the same since window switching isn't involved here.

tested witb 2003.04.15 comm bits.

1. turn caret browsing mode on (hit F7).
2. go to http://bugzilla.org/
3. mouseclick to place the caret just to the left of "What's all this..."
4. hit / to manually start text mode of FAYT.
5. start entering some non-linked text in the first paragraph, eg, "sys"
(without quotes).
6. after "sys" is highlighted, hit any of the arrow keys to move the caret.

results: highlighting goes away (expected), but so does the caret (not expected).

workaround: if i hit arrow keys enough, eventually i'll reach some linked text,
at which point the caret reappears.
