Firefox PR1.0 Cannot Search in Textarea?!

Filed in: Mozilla — October 5th, 2004

I have upgraded to Firefox Preview Release 1.0(PR1.0) from version 0.9.3. Everything works fine and most “must have” extensions have the upgraded version to support PR1.0. However, I found a small problem in PR1.0 that the new search bar does not jump to search keyword in textarea.

As far as I remember, the previos version has no problem to search inside a textarea. It will jump to the keyword found in the page, as well as in the textarea. But comes to PR1.0, the new search bar do NOT jump to the keyword found in textarea. It only jump to the keyword found in the page, not in textarea. Anyway, the “Highlight” DOES work for textarea, though “Find Next/Previous” do not.

I am not sure this is a bug or what. Please let me know your finding or solution. :)
