264436 - Find toolbar disappears while I'm typing into it

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 268305

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Frank Fridlund]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

The Find as you type toolbar is disappearing after only 2-4 characters entered,
which may be a problem in certain Scandinavian & Finnish languages, where the
average word is longer than 5-6 characters.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the site listed above
2. Use Find as you type to try to enter in a longer word (for example, materialet)


Actual Results:  
The bar dissappears every 2-3 characters, and often more than not, it doesn't
select the word I'm looking for

Expected Results:  
The toolbar should remain onscreen until all the characters are entered in (and
remain onscreen for at least a second afterwards)

It only works to use Ctrl-F, though this has some issues with it also.  Can be
an accessibility issue for those using the keyboard

The link points to some kind of "unlogin" page. Could you provide a permanent
link (or even better, a testcase for this bug, attached). Thanks.

duping to a newer bug which has specific suggestions.

This one is non-reproducible and reporter hasn't answered in almost a month.
Feel free to reopen if you provide a specific (public!) url this happens on
*and* if you can still reproduce the bug with 1.0RC - a lot of work has been
done on Find toolbar recently.
