289802 - Find in page ignores numbers in lists

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 12460

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Chris Cunningham]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050410 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050410 Firefox/1.0+

On a page which uses a long, numbered list, it would be convenient to allow the
numbers themselves to be found with the Find dialogue / toolbar. However,
Mozilla ignores these, and won't even allow them to be selected using caret
browsing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the linked URL.
2. Attempt to search for issue 69 by hitting ctrl-F and typing "69".


Actual Results:  
Firefox **** and displays a message saying that the page does not contain the
term "69".

Expected Results:  
Firefox should highlight the letters "69" accompanying the text "It's brown".
