229070 - Content of source window does not have 'search focus' when window first opened, if using ctrl-F shortcut for searching

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 203117

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Marc Buchmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030906
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030906

When opening a 'view source' window from any source, the content section of the
window does not have focus (not sure what does have focus). As such, opening the
window via View->Source or ctrl-U shortcut, and immediately doing a search via
the ctrl-F shortcut will return no results, even if the text being searched for
is plainly visible on-screen.

Forcing the source to be in-focus by either clicking on it or hitting tab makes
the search work properly.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hit any site
2. Open 'View Source' window either by ctrl-U shortcut or View->Source menu option
3. Hit ctrl-f and try to search for any text on the page.
Actual Results:  
"The text you entered is not found"

Expected Results:  
Find the text you find, especially when you can see it plainly on-screen, ie:
searching for 'bug' in any bugzilla page's source.

Subsequent opening of the source window *may* have focus in the actual source,
but it seems to be inconsisten as to when/how that happens. It's guaranteed to
not have focus on a fresh browser invocation.

Confirming on a 20031220 Linux CVS build.

works for me on linux cvs

What annoys me even more is that the source window does not have the 'cursor
focus' for scrolling down with the arrow keys. Clicking inside the window fixes
this. (1.6/win32)
