Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Charles O'Rourke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

The Find-as-you-go bar always starts searching from the beginning of the page.  Even if you click in a specific frame, or select some text, it won't begin the search from that point; it always starts from the beginning.  This is a problem on the URL I've supplied, where I want to search for "Border" in the main frame and it comes up with tons of "Border" instances in one of the navigation frames.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/
2. Click in the main frame, the right-side frame.
3. Hit Ctrl-F and type Border.  It will find instances of Border in the left frames, even though you clicked in the right frame.  Nothing you do will make Firefox search the right frame first.

Actual Results:  
It didn't search the frame I wanted to search.

Expected Results:  
It should have searched the frame with focus first.
