Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 456960

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.2) Gecko/2008091620 Firefox/3.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.2) Gecko/2008091620 Firefox/3.0.2

For commercial reasons I can't provide the actual page, however assume a URL returns an XML document containing data such as the following snippet:

<reference url="foo=310797" identifier="310797" lastModified="2008-07-31 02:20:59"/>
<reference url="foo=310798" identifier="310798" lastModified="2008-07-31 02:21:24"/>

In the Ctrl-F quick search I enter 310797 and the search turns red (ie no hit), tried once more (I deleted the search bar, moved the pointer location around etc) and it does locate the foo= occurrence. Hit Next and it finds the last occurrence in identifier=. Next again it and search term becomes red as expected. Now hit Previous, it fails to find the first occurrence with the search term remaining red! 

if this can't be reproduced I'd recommend trying a few combinations of search/move cursor point, try again, start a new search etc to see that in some cases the search simply doesn't work.



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As above
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
The search should find and step through the search term. This is a serious issue when viewing a large XML document containing critical data feed and a search indicates an expected result value is not present when in fact it is. 



the document is loaded with this message though I don't see how it could affect the result of a search:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
