Public bug reported:

Hi,

It's been a long time I wanted to report this VERY ANNOYING bug, but I
forgot.

The bug is as follows:
- Do a Quick Search with "/", using all uppercase word, for example "ARRAY" in 
page: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2002/12/05/RAID.html
- Realize that Quick Search is case insensitive
- Hit CTL-f to switch to "Full" Search
- Click on "Match Case"
- Realize that the switch lowercased your query text... Whereas you asked for 
the settings of the search to be changed

I still don't know if it's the switch to "Full" search or the click on
"Match case" that lowers the query text, but that's very annoying!!!! If
I click on this button it's clearly because the current settings of the
search did not work and I want to change it, not because I'm a stupid
jerk and I need the machine to decide for me what I want to do...

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
