Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256989

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

The find toolbar highlight option also highlights the text in the Google
inputbox. This basically stops you from changing the highlighted text in the
inputbox. I've noticed that if the keyword is "testxy" and the search string has
"testxy" as the last string than there is nothing you can do but close the tab
or use "delete" key. If "testxy" is not the last word then you can delete the
"testxy" highlighted string but not edit it or move the cursor through it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a new tab.
2.Open Find tab. Type "testxy"
3.Go to google bar Ctrl+K. Type "search testxy" then enter.


Actual Results:  
Now, the input textbox for the search string should have "testxy" highlighted.

Expected Results:  
The search string shouldn't be highlighted in the input box, or the highlighted
text should allow the cursor move.

Yes, so it seems. But not only the text cannot be partially selected but you
can't move the text cursor "into" it either.
