In sourceEditor, when you find a word, the matched word should appear at the center of the viewport (vertically) and not at the last visible line.

*Might* do this for bug 759351.

This bug can benefit from the patch I wrote in bug <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724585> (awaiting review right now).

Not exactly. Centering the caret line in Orion is different. We are not allowed to do real scroll events. You have Orion API to do the scroll and all capabilities are there. getTopIndex() tells you the visible line at the top of viewport. getBottomIndex() tells you the visible line at the bottom of viewport. ... and more. Also see SourceEditor.setCaretPosition() which already does center the target line in the viewport. We need to use something like that for find.

Moving to Source Editor component. Filter on CHELICERAE.

Nice improvement to see the find result in the middle of the viewport.

This bug is still valid with codemirror, tested in the style editor. The debugger has its own find UI and it does center the match in the view. (unassigned myself because I am not actively working on source editor bugs)
