Version: 4.0 r793981 (using KDE 4.0.3) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux What is lovely is that if you pick the "find" from the right-click menu, (the one you can make popup) then it does work. This worked fine in 3.5.8, so I'm marking it regression. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70072 is slightly related, but the opposite way around, and as described there, it is fixed. So I closed it.
SVN commit 794973 by orlovich: Make searching within textareas work again. Seems like we used to attach their kids back in the days? BUG: 160490 M +15 -31 khtml_part.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=794973
I get "false" results with rev. 797569 : e.g : http://forums.knoppix-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1277 and search for the "firewall" string. - 1st result is the thread title - 2nd : No highlight (I don't "see" where the string is) - 3rd/4/5/6th : The next results are in the textarea - 7th : same as 2nd, I can't see what was found. - 8th : bottom of the page
Forget #2, that's a <div> not a textarea
Bug #109497 is what you noticed here.
