In Composer's HTML SOURCE view, The Find dialog will not find a phrase if it is
wrapped at the end of a line.  (Reformat HTML Source turned on)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a page in Composer (CTRL-E from browser)
2. click on the HTML Source tab
3. use FIND (CTRL-F) to search for 2 words that are wrapped at the end of a line
Actual Results:  
"The text you entered was not found"

Expected Results:  
Find should find text that's been wrapped by the (HORRIBLE) word wrap function
in Reformat HTML Source

Example:
Paste the following text into Composer, and search for "George Bush"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar George
Bush foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've seen problems with Find in the browser window also, is this a general issue
with Find or is it specific to Find in editors?

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe, this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
