Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

This is strange behavior to me so I'm going to report it, but I don't know if
it's intended actually.

When searching for example http://www.winappslist.com/internet/ftp4.htm for
"sftp" it finds

Download Utilities
FTP Clients

which are items in a list. When I press F3 to search for the next match, the
query changes to "# s# FTP" (that's what it pasted like now when I copied from
the findbar) and then when I press F3 again it doesn't find anything else
because the query has changed. If it continued to search for "sftp" like it
should, it would have found additional matches on the page. Therefore I consider
this to be erratic behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.winappslist.com/internet/ftp4.htm
2. Press Ctrl+F and enter "sftp"
3. When it finds "sftp" (the match spans two lines here, right? in the menu)
press F3 to search for the next match.
4. Notice your query changes and you can't find anything else although "sftp"
occurs at several other places in the page.
Actual Results:  
It modifies my query and searches for that instead of what I wanted to find.

Expected Results:  
It should have stayed with the original query and found additional matches to it
when I pressed F3.

Default theme, FF 1.0.3

It's been fixed in the trunk?

Yes it has been fixed on the trunk. I cannot find the bug that fixed this, so WFM.
