893566 - Page keeps shifting when finding making it hard to read and click links

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 893446

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

The find bar at the top of the causes page content to shift down whenever it appears then shifts back up when it disappears. This is especially disorienting when using type-ahead find or you close the find bar after using it.

I'm not sure if I tend to search a lot in pages, but since the feature landed, I've been getting nauseous when using Firefox. (I get motion sickness just reading things in a car for more than a minute.)

After thinking about it a bit more, I think part of it is because my eyes are focused on some text in a page when I hit Cmd-F to find to type that word. But when the find bar appears, the word I'm looking at is moving down. Then when I find other instances of the word, perhaps a link, my eyes are focused on reading that line and clicking it then type-ahead automatically cancels and closes the find bar causing the thing I'm focused on to shift up.

...and enough testing for now. I need to take a break before I get too dizzy. :p
