265043 - inconsistent behaviour of find toolbar (new windows/tabs have find toolbars too, Esc key not working)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Dimitrios]

I am seeing the following with aviary 20041018/win32 installer build:
1. open find toolbar with Ctrl+F
2. open new window or tab

Actual results :
At at step 2, the new window or tab has a find toolbar (I think they shouldn't)
and it cannot be closed with Esc key (needs focus on toolbar's textarea to do
so). It can only be closed after toolbar textarea gets focus.

On the contrary, if the find toolbar was invoked with "/", the new window/tab
doesn't contain a toolbar instance.

Sorry for possibly reporting two bugs in one but it's my impression that they
share the same cause (or simply one of them is invalid).

This is invalid. Opened with /, the page has focus, not the find bar, and it
times out, so the new window shouldn't have one. Opened with Ctrl+F, the bar has
focus, not the page, so Escape works, and the new window inherits it.

Thanks for the clarification. From a short discussion I had at mozillazine, it
seems that it was not only me who was confused. I hope that Help mentions the
above differences.
