340039 - Find As You Type ignores spaces

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Find In Page, defect)

Description

[Christopher]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0

Find As You Type ignores spaces, searching for the string entered without spaces.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press / to start Find As You Type
2. Type in one word found on the page, e.g. "target" on this page - it will be found
3. Press space and start to type the next word, e.g. " mil" (of Milestone)

Actual Results:  
The browser does not continue matching, and the status bar notes that the text not found is the string you typed, without the space (Text not found: "targetmil").

Expected Results:  
"target mil" is matched as part of "Target Milestone".

Mozilla 1.7 behaved correctly in this manner.

Of course, since I have included the string "targetmil" in the description, "targetmil" will in fact match.. should have thought of that. "Assigned" and " To" will work acceptably.

Works for me.

Do you see this with a clean profile?  Do you have any extensions installed?

Comment 4

[Christopher]

Hrm.. it still occurred with a clean profile, but then a clean install fixed it (even when using my old profile), so it seems like some extension in the browser rather than user chrome was responsible. Since I have most of my extensions installed per user, and I've not installed any associated with find features, it's a bit of a mystery. Works for me now though.
