936858 - Keep all members of the Find Bar contiguous

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 935519

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Patrick Seiter]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131025151332

Steps to reproduce:

Press CTRL+F.


Actual results:

The Find Bar now has a structure of:
Find in page | Up button | Down button | Space | Highlight All | Match Case | Close

The previous structure was:
Close | Find: | Next | Previous | Highlight all | Match case

As can be seen here:

Expected results:

There should be no space in the Find Bar between its members. I shouldn't have to go from typing in the text box to swiping my mouse over to the right side of my browser window to Highlight all/Match case/Close the bar. I can Tab to highlight all and match case, but I cannot tab to the close button. I can also press Esc to close the bar, but then what is the point of the close button?

The main argument for this change was that if the close button is on the left side of the bar, it is inconsistent with the other components of Firefox. If that's the problem, simply align the text box directly to the left of 'Highlight all'. It's inconsistent to have search options so far away from the search box.
