Hello,

A new issue has been created and assigned
to you:

159 - Documentation HTML pages aren't searching friendly on Firefox
Project: monotone
Status: New
Reported by: Daniel Atallah
Labels:
 Type:Defect
 Priority:Medium

Description:

On at least Firefox 4.0, there's a bad interaction between the headers and footers and the "Find..." (Ctrl+F) functionality.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------

1. Go to http://www.monotone.ca/docs/Automation.html
2. Hit Ctrl+F (or whatever keystroke triggers the "Find..." functionality on your OS)
3. Type "stdio" and hit enter.

Expected result:
----------------

The screen will be scrolled to the point where you can see a line that contains the "stdio" text.

Actual results:
---------------

The screen is scrolled to the point where the "stdio" text would be visible if it wasn't obscured by the "Quick Links:" footer.


A similar effect exists when searching backwards where the header blocks the matched line.

This affect doesn't happen on IE or Chrome (partially because they both will scroll so that the search result is in the middle of the page, and in the case of IE8, the headers and footers don't scroll with the page).

Incidentally, IMO the scrolling header and footer waste quite a bit of potentially useful vertical space.
