Title:
  Find positions match off-screen

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Invalid
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Summary:
  wget -O test.htm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/534606/+attachment/1198072/+files/test.htm
  firefox -new-window test.htm
  Adjust window so only about 15 lines are visible
  Control-F and enter K-1 as the search term
  Search once or twice -- eventually firefox will scroll so that the current match is not visible

  Expected: The current match should always be visible.

  <previous descriptions follows>

  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. Open the attached "Demo html file" with Firefox, fullscreen.

  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

  Please look at the attached screen shot showing a "match" which is
  invisible.
