Steps to reproduce:

1. Open this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols
2. Open FindBar (Ctrl+F)
3. Type the word "phi" (20 matches) or "partial" (34 matches)
4. Try to "find next" (up to the 12 match for "phi")

Looks like some "special character" is blocking the scroll.

Desktop QA has been highlighting this defect as a known issue for several release cycles now, following regression testing. Timothy, it would really help us if you set a priority on this bug — it will give us clarity on whether this issue is still worth mentioning in future test reports.

Hi Andrei, I've seen that you've put a similar request in many other bugs. Can I ask for some more context around this? How is the list of defects that you highlight for a release cycle determined? How do you use priority in this effort? My understanding of the priority field is that teams can use it differently, so the meaning of the field changes by component.

Discussed about this separately with Timothy.
