need search progress in help when I do a search in help, I can't tell when it is searching, or when it is done. especially for searches that don't find any results. some other help issues, that can be split out into other bugs: 1) after a search that finds results, a search with no results doesn't clear the search results. 2) if a search results no results, perhaps put "No results found" in the search resutls area 3) after clicking on a search result, resizing the window can cause the result to go offscreen. note, that's not what happens if I go to an anchor on a webpage, and resize.

saw this during jglick's UE study, so adding [ue] to status whiteboard.

Should this be bugscape?

Seth, thanks for the feedback. Jennifer, this is OK as a Bugzilla bug...The Help viewer is in the Mozilla builds. As for the specifics of the bug, I don't think we need a progress indicator, as the search happens quickly. The main thing is to indicate that no results were found. That's already covered in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134076. I think #3 of Seth's list is the only one that may not be covered by bug 134076. I'll reword the summary of this bug to say "UE issues with help" only, to cover items not fixed by 134076.

Ian, I'm still seeing behavior #3 described by Seth. All other items in this bug have been fixed. Changing summary to reflect the remaining issue.

marking nsbeta1+ for the next release and setting priority to P3.

moving stuff over to an outside-the-firewall email for the time being, looking for people to pick these Help and doc bugs up for me.

mass reassign of all of Ian Oeschger's bugs to me (R.J. Keller).

This will be fixed for 1.6 alpha. I'm also displaying search tips when no results were found.

WORKSFORME I'm not seeing any of 4 problems reported in this bug.

#3 still exists > 3) after clicking on a search result, resizing the window > can cause the result to go offscreen. note, that's not > what happens if I go to an anchor on a webpage, and resize. Steps to Reproduce 1. To to any topic that doesn't start at the top of a page 2. Maximize or Restore window. Result: you lost your place... Same bug in Firebird Help. This could be a dupe, but can't find the prime bug. -> reopen & up the priority

I still can't reproduce this. Nothing seems to have changed when I minimized and restored the help window (and I did select a topic that started in the middle of the page).

Daniel: Can you post screenshots of this problem?

OK, I see it now after resizing when doing steps in comment #10. I also see this in the browser, so it looks to me that this is a issue with Gecko. Daniel, can you move this to an appropriate component?

personally, I don't see this bug as a high priority. In fact, I question whether it is a bug. --> Future

Moving to new Help component owner.

I agree, this looks like a Gecko bug, not help-specific.

depends on bug 19261?

In fact, I regard this as a dupe of bug bug 19261 (when resizing the window, need to keep place in content). This is indeed a Gecko bug.

Also removing dependency on bug 161765. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 19261 ***
