(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, enhancement)

Description

[James Andrewartha]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.207.0 Safari/532.0
Build Identifier: 

When you find in page in Chrome, it puts lines in the scrollbar indicating where the matches are. I'd like to see this in SeaMonkey

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use FAYT to search for a sequence of characters

Actual Results:  
The scrollbar is unchanged

Expected Results:  
The locations of the matched sequence are highlighted in the scrollbar.

Cool idea, although probably more of a toolkit bug.
