257944 - Find in This Page should default to selected text (if any text on the current web page is selected)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 250910

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

If the user has selcted any text on the current web page and then opens the
"Find in This Page" window, the search phrase in Find window's "Find What"
textbox should default to the web page's selected text. The Microsoft Visual C++
IDE does this and I find it VERY convenient.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some text on the current web page
2. CTRL+F (to open the "Find in This Page" window)


Actual Results:  
The default search phrase (in the "Find What" textbox) is not the selected text.

Expected Results:  
The default search phrase (in the "Find What" textbox) should be the selected text.
