921507 - Find in page/Quickfind bar animation shows up at the bottom while the bar itself is positioned at the top

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[rsx11m]

Steps to reproduce:

 1. Open a browser window
 2. Use Ctrl+F or / to open the find bar

Observed results:

 3. for a split-second, the bar is animated at the window's bottom
 4. the bar itself shows up at the top
 5. dismissing it with ESC shows another animation at the bottom

Expected results:

 3. no animation (which purpose does it serve?), or at least at the top
 5. the same

Seen with 2.23a2 on Windows, but I'd expect that also trunk and beta are affected (need to check).

Never mind, that got fixed by backout a couple of days ago, apparently with bug 914180 (last affected 2.23a2 build 2013-09-20, first fixed build 2013-09-21).

It's always a good idea to *update* your build before filing a bug... :-[

Resolving WFM for now, but this may become relevant again if bug 869543 (moving findbar on top for Firefox) relands, thus let's keep an eye on it.

BTW, here is my userChrome.css code that I use to make the findbar appear and hide at once, without the animation (interestingly it causes the findbar to get stuck at the bottom and to be rendered transparent without any background in the 9/20 build):

findbar {
  transition: none !important;
}
