301857 - FAYT fails if the first search was pasted in and was not found

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 300428

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Dorando]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050719 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050723 Firefox/1.0+

If the first in-page search a user makes was made by pasting text into the Find
Toolbar textbox and this text wasn't found, every subsequent FAYT search in this
window will fail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new browser window
2. Open the Find Toolbar (Ctrl+F)
3. Paste any text which doesn't appear in this page into the textbox (Allizom)
4. Try to search for something which does appear in this page

Actual Results:  
It fails

Expected Results:  
It should work

On step 3 if the first letter appears in the page it will be highlighted and no
indication that the search failed appears.

Using Find Next (or pressing Enter) and Find Previous works but the Toolbar
indicates that the search failed.

The find matching badly on paste may be related to bug 300428

Bug Triage: edge case - not blocking beta for it.
