Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 250411

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[AJ Bourg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040715 Firefox/0.9.1+

When using a rich text editor, such as the
midasdemo(http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/), anytime you type a ' in the
designMode area, the find toolbar immediately opens up and searches for whatever
text you're typing.(though it doesn't hijack the text, the text gets placed in
the designmode area just fine)  While this, in itself, is not a big deal, it
apparently causes the space and backspace to stop working.  If you goto
Tools->Options->Advanced and check "Find as you type" the toolbar opens
immediately as you type, regardless of pressing the ' key.  This totally
prevents the use of the backspace and space keys in Midas.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/
2. Begin typing a sentance with '.
3. After pressing the ', press the space or backspace keys.
Actual Results:  
A space isn't inserted, and the previous character is not deleted.

Expected Results:  
A space should be inserted, and the previous character should be deleted.

Dupe, I think bug 250411 is the right one.
