265166 - Links don't work when Find Toolbar is open and page is scrolled to the bottom

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Thomas Rutter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041018 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041018 Firefox/1.0

When scrolled to the bottom of a page, clicking a link does not work if the find
toolbar is open.

This seems to be because when the link is clicked, the find toolbar disappears
which causes the page to scroll upwards, and the link you clicked moves. 
Therefore it seems to be a problem with when the toolbar disappears.

This behaviour occurs regardless of whether you've typed anything into the Find
Toolbar, whether it has found a match, or it hasn't found a match.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open find toolbar
2. Scroll to bottom of page while toolbar is open
3. Click a link


Actual Results:  
Clicking the link didn't work.

Expected Results:  
Clicking the link takes you to the destination specified by the link.

The Find bar never goes away on its own.

Pretty much a duplicate of bug 263346.  There's a patch to fix this in that bug
report.

Confirming this issue, contrary to the alleged duplicate mentioned above also on

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
