553856 - When "Find" scrolls left, it doesn't scroll left far enough

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 559993

(Core :: Find Backend, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Attachment: testcase (search for "foo")

When Find scrolls to the left, it only scroll far enough to show the rightmost pixel of the selection.  This is quite disorienting, since the result is that the new selection is not visible on the screen.

This can happen due to text-wrapping, find-previous, or find-wrapping.

This happens when searching

for "failed", for example.

Presumably because ScrollSelectionIntoView can take either focus_region or anchor_region as the thing to scroll into view but not "both" or some such?
