When searching text on HTML pages, the found text is not shown, the document is
not scrolled accordingly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.uradni-list.si/1/ulonline.jsp?urlid=200494&dhid=71618
2. Press "End" to get on the bottom of the page
3. Press '/' search and the enter "kaz"
4. Press SHIFT-CTRL-G to search backwards

Actual Results:  
The found text is not in the show part of the document. One must scroll up ( the
doc moves down )  ( CRSR-UP key ) a few lines, so the highlighted found text
comes into the window.

Expected Results:  
Found text located in the visible part of screen , preferably in the center.

The problem is that the text is hidden behind a "position: fixed" element. This
is quite hard to fix, I think. Testcase coming.

Attachment: testcase

steps to reproduce:
1. search for "findme"
(Optional:
2. F3
3. Shift+F3)

findme is covered by the "position: fixed" div. If that div has solid
background, the found text is not visible.

Suggesting wontfix though, as it's really site's problem. They shouldn't make
the navigation div overlap the main text div.

so, technically speaking, it's inside the window, just not visible.

Comment 4

Aha.

But what about postitioning the found text in the middle of the window ?
That would fix my problem and also give more context around the found item in
general.

You can put an opaque position:fixed block in the center of the screen as well.
And personally I wouldn't like the found text to jump to the center of the scren
all the time, it'd be just annoying.
