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). + When using the "Find" feature (Control-F), matched text can be hidden + behind certain elements on the bottom of webpages due to Firefox + scrolling so the found word is at the bottom of the screen. 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). + 1. Open the attached "Demo html file" with Firefox, fullscreen. - 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". + 2. Control-F and type "K-1" into the Find: field, without the quotes, + and hit Return. Firefox auto-scrolls so the second K-1 is hidden behind + the banner at the bottom of the screen - 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. + Please look at the attached screen shot showing a "match" which is + invisible.
