342741 - Green "highlight color" only active for elements visible on the same page as the first found word, when cycling through Find results with "Find Again" (F3)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

Steps to reproduce:
1) Go to http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml
2) Ctrl+F, enter "document".
3) Press F3 continuously.

Notice that only the first result gets the green highlight. If I scroll down to a point in the page where I can see multiple instances of the string "document" (http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#583)  and start the find there, all the elements get the highlight color until the page needs to scroll to display a result, in which case the highlight color returns to the normal blue highlight.

I'm testing a 1.8 branch nightly from yesterday, on Windows.

Already aware of this, it's why bug 209989 was reopened.  As I commented there, this should get fixed if/when bug 189039 gets checked in.  If that patch does not make it in at some point, then I'll need to come up with a different fix or back out bug 209989.

OK, this should be fixed-on-trunk now that bug 189039 went in.  Still broken on branch until the patch goes into the branch.

Fixed on branch by checkin of bug 189039.
