785820 - Global search match sometimes not visible when lines are too long

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 789027

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P3)

Description

[Girish Sharma [:Optimizer]]

This happens when the searched text is at a column number high enough that it is not visible in the debugger as the area that displays the line containing the search result text displays the line containing the searched text starting from its origin.

Please provide detailed steps to reproduce what you're describing. Screenshot if necessary.

Are you suggesting we *crop* long lines of source code?

Attachment: search result not in view

In the attached screenshot, I am doing a free search for the text ja. The first line has that phrase 3 times, but not even one is visible, similarly for the next 3 lines. Only in the fourth line, the searched phrase is visible.

I am not suggesting to crop the lines, instead, the first four lines should be aligned horizontally to show atleast one of the searched phrase occurrence, like the source editor does automatically.

only in the fifth line*

Please note that I am not talking about the lines shown in the editor (that is built using the source editor ), but the area which shows the results lines of free text. The feature that Victor made (and is awesome)

Actually we have a dupe.
