517859 - Search backwards does not work in xml

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 263049

Description

[David Balažic]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I noticed some strange behavior of the search function on XML pages.

I use FF 3.5.3 on Windows XP.

For example:
- open this page : https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v12/CampaignService?wsdl
- press ctrl-f and type "api"
- press ctrl-g repeatedly (or just hold it), until you find the last occurrence

As you see, it will stop at last occurrence, instead of starting again at top, like in HTML pages.
Also shift-ctrl-g does not work.
Neither does "Highlight all"

Also , it appears there are some problems with case sensitivity:
- load the same page
- start searching with ctrl-f for "bud"

Right after typing "b" the search field turns red. Even if there is the string "Budget" (notice the capital B) on the page.

This makes searching on XML pages very hard. It also gives the false impression that some string is not on the page ("bud") when in fact it is.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

As reported it's a dupe of Bug 263049.  This is actually more broken on trunk, I filed Bug 517866 with that.
