(Sorry, I don't know the exact terms for these UI elements.)

STR
 (1) Load URL
 (2) Mouse over the topmost "Spain" link
 (3) Ctrl-f or start typing to initiate a page search
 (4) Search for "free money"

The bar that appears on mousing over "Spain" occludes the highlighted "FREE MONEY" result, in such a way that I can't tell if the search was successful, unsuccessful, or still in progress.  I would expect page-search to play well with the URL bar, by moving displayed results to a position where they're not occluded by the URL bar.

This is a contrived test case, but the real paper-cut to me is that this happens in the following two cases
 - page-search while the page is still loading.  The URL/status bar has the "Loading" message.
 - page-search accidentally has me mouse-over a link I didn't intend to.

In both cases, the information I asked for, search results, are occluded by a UI I didn't ask for, the URL/status bar.

I can upload screenshots if that would help make this report clearer.

Jeez, I tried about 10 different searches before filing this.  Sigh.
