When doing find (ctrl-F) within a page, the search will search to the end of the page, and not loop.
For example, if you go to the page kmeleon.sourceforge.net, and:
1. Press ctrl-F
2. Type "Latest" (which is found in the page).
3. Press ESCape
4. Press ctrl-F
5. Type "Extremely" (which is found in the page before "latest" is).
...it won't find up (unless you explicitely tell it to seek backwards, or click on the text before "extremely" to reset to search position).
The expected behavior would be for the search to loop through the page's text.
Un-check highlight and click "Find Next" repeatedly while looking for "Ext".
I think that misses the point, though. I'm not checking highlight, but one would expect the search forward to loop though the search matches, not just stop at the end of the page. Obviously, one could simply search backwards as well, but the workaround solutions are not efficient if one wishes to perform searches using only the keyboard:
^f, followed by the search spec; then press enter to find next.
Once you've performed a search on the current page, or searched for an item not present on the page, the next search WILL FAIL.
This bug is eliminated in KM75b2, b3. Try to update your browser to latest beta.
