Package: dillo
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: normal

With examples.  First the good:

        % dillo about:splash

...the splash screen appears.  Now hit 'Ctrl-F' and a "Find text in
page" box appears.  Type "welcome", and "Welcome" in the upper left
is highlighted, in blue.  Good.

Second example; the bug:

        % dillo about:splash

...the splash screen appears.  Now hit 'Ctrl-F' again, and type
"these".  Nothing happens -- or nothing visible.  There's not
even an error that the text wasn't found.  Because the text is hiding
BENEATH the "Find text" box.

No visible output after you hit <Enter> makes you wonder -- where's
the target text?  is 'dillo' still searching?  has 'dillo' crashed? has
some other process crashed 'dillo'?

It'd be better if the "Find" box either was not above the page, (it
might fit in a menu bar or something), or was able to step
aside whenever it covered the found text. 

BTW, very probably 'dillo' isn't the only program that sometimes
conceals found text.  It may not seem like a bug, since it's doing what
it was programmed to do: it finds and hilites text.  But for users,
sporadic invisible output is an interface bug.


Hope this helps...
