Build ID: 20140127194636

Steps to reproduce:

. Create a new profile
. Go to (eg)
  http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=72994
. Type "/" to open quick findbar
. Type "12345z" (in the quick findbar textbox)
  . The textbox should turn red indicating no match was found on the page
. Hit Esc to close quick findbar
. Hit F3 to "find again"


Actual results:

Fx27: When you hit F3:
. The quick findbar does -not- pop up as it should (nothing happens)
  . But it seems further keystrokes are still directed to it
. This makes it appear that the keyboard has locked up
  . Especially if you have your keys mapped to other functions (with keyconfig)
. eg, Hitting "/" or "'" again does nothing (should open quick findbar/links-only-bar)
. Esc does not help
. Though Ctrl+ and Alt+ key combos and nav keys still work

. To escape the problem, you have to hit Ctrl+F to bring up the regular findbar
  . Here you will see all your hidden keystrokes in the findbar textbox
  . Now everything is back to normal



Expected results:

Fx26: When you hit F3:
. The quick findbar should pop up again with a red textbox indicating no match

Patch v1: un-break _setFindCloseTimeout()

No, it's something different, I should've added my debug & fix trace which is the largest part of the solution.
The problem is triggered by the F3 (find again) action, which the following pseudo-stacktrace:
```
findAgain()::finder.xml
findAgain()::Finder.jsm
_notify()::Finder.jsm
onFindResult()::findbar.xml
_setFindCloseTimeout()::findbar.xml
global.setTimeout()::findbar.xml
```

The callback passed to `setTimeout()` never clears the `findbar._quickFindTimeout` value, which is always set to a number > 0, thus always truthy.
Now, any consecutive keypress is short-circuited by http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/content/widgets/findbar.xml#748, because
1. the find mode is not 'normal' and
2. `findbar._quickFindTimeout` is never cleared, thus always truthy.

This is when I decided to conservatively clean up `findbar._setFindCloseTimeout()`, as to prevent similar calamities.

I'm probably missing something, but can I confirm this patch will re-open the findbar on F3? I tried it and while subsequent keypresses were ok, F3 itself did not re-open the findbar (on non-matching text).

I can still reproduce this issue with Firefox 28 beta 9 (build ID: 20140306171728) on Win XP x86: while following the STR from comment 0, when I get to the last step (Hit F3 to "find again"), the quick findbar still doesn't pop up as it should (nothing happens).

Confirmed, this is not fixed - 30.0a1 (2014-03-10), win 7 x64.

Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
There used to be explicit logic in `findbar.onFindAgainCommand` to call `this.open()` if the result was FIND_NOTFOUND.  This logic was deleted in bug 666816 and has not been replaced:

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/295578d99074#l6.1513
Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This patch restores the previous behavior of opening the findbar if findAgain returns FIND_NOTFOUND.

There's one special case in onFindAgainCommand: When there was no previous search for the findbar's current value, it starts a new search by calling _find() instead of _findAgain().  For example, this happens if you do a search in one tab, then open a new tab and immediately press F3.

When this happens, the "findAgain" flag in onFindResult isn't set, since the result wasn't actually from a findAgain call.  Instead, this patch unconditionally opens the findbar when a Find Again command results in a new _find() call.

This is a slight behavior change, which in my opinion is an improvement.  But if we don't want this change, we could instead thread the "findAgain" flag through the "fastFind" methods/messages.

I still need to write tests for this fix.

I disagree with this behavioral change. Hitting F3 should always be considered "finding again", it is an explicit command to re-use the last used search term, whether it comes from that tab, or from another tab in case it's the first time the find bar is used in the current tab.

The fact that there is a _find() call in there is a technicality for the code to cope with the scenario of the user wanting to "find again" when that tab can't; basically it pretends to find again, while backstage it actually starts a search anew.

> 1161 	if (aData.findAgain && aData.result == this.nsITypeAheadFind.FIND_NOTFOUND) {

As per above, this would no longer work as it wouldn't show the findbar if it didn't _findAgain() but did _find() instead.

In this case, I think it can just use the message's .storeResult property as a flag (so the onFindResult doesn't react unnecessarily to highlights). It should work while avoiding the need for a whole new flag to be passed along, and without all the extra routine in onFindAgainCommand.
Food for thought and discussion: open the quick find bar on failed find again, instead of the normal/last-used-mode find bar. For the immediacy of this use-case: "Does this page have x word? if not I'm not going to keep typing in it as that's all I care about."

(I do precisely this in FindBar Tweak, no complaints so far.)

This uses the simpler approach suggested by quicksaver in comment 23, which shouldn't introduce any new behavior.  It also adds an automated test.

Is there a reason to order this clause at the top and not below by extending the existing aData.result == xxx clause?
If possible, I'd prefer that :)

.open() calls _updateStatusUI(FIND_FOUND). Doing it in there you'd have to call _updateStatusUI one extra time after it was opened to show the correct NOTFOUND status. It's probably simpler to keep this patch at the top of onFindResult because of that, unless I missed something.

Yes, this was my reasoning.  We could move the whole `if` block above the _updateStatusUI call, though.

Bug 967982 - Show findbar after unsuccessful Find Again [r=mikedeboer]

Status: REOPENED → RESOLVED
Closed: 10 years ago9 years ago
Resolution: --- → FIXED
I was able to reproduce this issue on Firefox 30.0a1 (2014-02-04) under Windows XP 64-bit.

Verified on Firefox 45.0a1 (2015-12-14) under Windows XP 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit and I noticed the following:
 - introducing an invalid key (e.g.”12345z”): The search bar is displayed after hitting F3 button 
 - introducing a valid key(e.g “removed”): The search bar is *not* displayed and the results are highlighted one at a time when hitting F3 button  


Matt, could you please confirm that this is the intended behaviour?
Flags: needinfo?(mbrubeck)
Yes, the behavior in comment 35 is the intended behavior.
