Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
When using the "Find" feature (Control-F), matched text is frequently invisible, presumably positioned outside the viewable portion of the page. Perhaps the line containing the text is slightly (e.g. one pixel) on-screen, I don't know; in any case, the match is completely invisible to the user. It might depend on the font sizes being used. (just guesses). Here is a demo of the problem: 1. Go to https://investing.schwab.com/secure/cc/guidance/taxes/tax_forms/1099_composite?cmsid=P-2181822&lvl1=guidance&lvl2=taxes (you might need to have a schwab account to see it, not sure). 2. Make the window wider than that text, but only tall enough for three lines of text; scroll so that the top visible line is the line which begins with "Form Highlights". 3. Control-F and type "K-1" into the Find: field, without the quotes, and hit Return. Firefox auto-scrolls to some other position, but no K-1 is visible anywhere. 4. Click 'Next' several times. Firefox will sometimes show a matched K-1 in the text, sometimes not. Please look at the attached screen shot showing a "match" which is invisible.
