Description Raphael Slinckx 2005-06-10 21:53:49 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Using the mozilla backend.

Here are te problems i have:
typeaheadfind.enabled was set to false (i didn't do that, and previous versions
worked correctly)

Before enabling it, i could only get the find bar with ctrl-f, typing / or '
didn't do anything.

After enabling it, i can typeaheadfind correctly with / and '.

Now for the find bar:
When i do ctrl-f, the find bar appears, but if i start typing, nothing happens,
i must manually click in the entry to type somthing in it.

Now way to close the bar, clicking outside and hitting ESC doesn't do the trick,
now i have this find bar that i can't remove..

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

This all works fine for me, however the find bar is not working correctly in
other areas (that I didn't find listed in bugzilla).

1) Opening find using Ctrl-F while I was typing in this edit box was not
handling focus correctly (just found this out).

Steps to reproduce:
- Set the focus to some edit box on a web page (for example the search edit box
on google's home page).
- Hit the key combo Ctrl-F
- Start typing to find. Text will go into the edit box instead of the find bar.

2) Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V do not work in find bar (cut, copy, paste).

3) Shift-Home, Shift-End for selecting text in find bar doesn't work correctly
(sometimes).

Steps to reproduce:
- Open find bar.
- Enter a phrase that occurs more than once on a page.
- Click find next.
- Hit the key combo Shift-Home.

This one is kinda odd because it doesn't work the same all the time. At first I
thought it never worked, but then when I went to do an example (to reproduce the
behavior), it worked. So here is when it worked. I was looking at the buglist
for epiphany and typed "gtk" in the find bar. The phrase found was:

"gtk-bugs@gtk.org"

with the first gtk being highlighted. When the first gtk was highlighted
Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End worked, but if the second gtk was selected (after a find
next), Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End didn't select (or highlight) "gtk" in the find bar.

4) Find bar should select (highlight) the text in the find bar everytime it's
opened. Ok, so this really doesn't make find bar broken, but it's nice for
usability.

Ok my original problem disappeared after inspecting configure output and
noticing gentoo once again is completely broken. Now it's fixed, but i can
reproduce the above mentionned "bugs".
