Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 345095

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Pasting into the FAYT bar has the potential to return a false hit when search
text and hyperlinked text have the same first letter.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy any text to the clibpoard that matches the hyperlinked text.
2. Ctrl+F (if FAYT bar is not empty, backspace and repeat this line)
3. Paste

Actual Results:  
First letter of hyperlinked text is highlighted.

Expected Results:  
Only matching text should highlight.

This has nothing to do with the protocol being used, and it doesn't matter what
text is in the href attribute, but it must exist.  Appears to only occur with
the anchor tag, since tests with a generic tag, and the link tag didn't
duplicate results.
