295028 - Find-as-you-type doesn't work on form input

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 252371

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[pablo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Find as you type doesn't work on form input.  In the pre-1.0 version of Firefox
I used to use, Find (Ctrl-F) would find any user text I input into the form as
well.  The new version 1.0.4, does not.  This means if I have entered a complex
message and I'm trying to find a word or sentence in it I have to do it manually.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a page with a form
2.type something into the form
3.press Ctrl-F and then try to Find the text you just input

Actual Results:  
The find bar reports "Phrase not found" and the computer makes a noise.

Expected Results:  
I believe that the software should have highlighted the text that I'd just input
into the form.
