It's been a long time since I had the issue I reported, so my recollection is rather vague, and I haven't run into that issue again. I do remember that I found the behavior quite irritating. I think selected-word-highlighting should be turned off during search because the user is focusing on the search, and highlighting inconsistent with search results appears counter-intuitive. How about the following: when searching, turn off selected word highlighting, and always perform a "find all". Basically turn word highlighting into search result highlighting. In other words: there is already an efficient way to find and highlight words dynamically as the user is typing. Given that, I see no reason why the user should have to click "find all" to have all matches highlighted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
