Am I the only one who *REALLY* hates that feature? If the browser gives an option to turn it off, that's the first thing I do.

I've been bitten by it SO many times when I want to type text into a field but end up hilighting a match instead. This is one feature that needs to be dead & buried as soon as possible. It's just plain BAD user interface.

The lack of a find dialog is a known bug. The active typing thing is type

Subject: [Camino] "Find In Page" box not available/not functional


Build ID: 2003110714 under OSX 10.3


In any website, issuing [cmd]-F flashes the "Edit" menu as though a
successful keyboard equivalent has been issued, or using the mouse to
select "Find in page" results in "Find in page" being highlighted, but no
"Find" box is forthcoming. After issuing [cmd]-F, typing text to be found
results in that text being highlighted on the page, if it exists, in real
time as the user types -- IF the user types the search string correctly,
which is impossible to verify as there is no echo of the user's entry of
his search string.


Strange, eh?
