Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 269766

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

In any browser window with a homepage loaded, you can highlight all found
occurrences of a search term with Ctrl+Enter. Apparently this does not work if
you use Type Ahead, i.e. not activate the search bar with Ctrl+F but instead
just start typing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any homepage.
2. Make sure you don't have the cursor in a text input area.
3. Type a word that you see on the page (activates the search bar).
4. Hold Ctrl then press Enter: nothing happens.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Highlighting of all found occurrences of the typed keyword should be activated.

This would conflict with Ctrl+Enter-opens-selected-link-in-tab.
