266312 - find shows only limited context

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 78833

(SeaMonkey :: Find In Page, defect)

Description

[Joakim Rosqvist]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040916
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040916

Context both above and below a found phrase should be shown; mozilla shows only
context above.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page with plenty of text that won't all fit in the browser window
2. press ctrl-f 
3. enter a word/phrase that exists on the page, but below the current scroll
position, e.g. "saddam" on the example page i provided.

Actual Results:  
The browser window scrolled down so that the word I searched for appeared on the
bottom row, highlighted.

Expected Results:  
Scrolled further, so that the found/highlighted phrase appears about 1/3 from
the top of the page rather than on the bottom row. Otherwise the user has to
manually scroll down to be able to continue reading from the point where the
phrase was found.

I've seen the same bug related to old-style find quite a while ago.
