Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; rv:22.0) Gecko/20130312 Firefox/22.0 (http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/7433bc4545c9) Associated with bug 831940 - Find previous and next instance of text in a page 1. Launch Firefox Metro. 2. Load https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/ (or any other page) 3. Invoke the find bar (right click settings and Find or Ctrl+F) 4. Type any word (e.g. "easy") 5. Double click the Next arrow. Actual result: the grippers are displayed. I'm not sure if this is intended or not for tablets, but there is no use for these in Metro Desktop. Haven't found any other references for comparison. Note: Simply selecting any word, without the Find bar will display the grippers as well.

Possibly a defect for iteration 5

I think this depends on how much work is involved. If it's a relatively easy fix, we should get to this soon. If it's complicated, we can tackle it in v2. What say you engineers, is this a difficult problem?

Should be pretty easy to fix. When enabled the find bar should disable the SelectionHelperUI.

Comment on attachment 730629 [details] [diff] [review] fix really simple patch.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; rv:23.0) Gecko/20130404 Firefox/23.0 Verified using steps in comment 0. One can double click fast enough and Nightly will now return corresponding results without grippers. One adjacent question, though: selecting text in a normal page will display grippers while using Metro desktop. Is this intended? I haven't seen this called out in any story.

I think that's a bug but will let Jim confirm

Is this intended? > I haven't seen this called out in any story. It's a bug if you can reproduce it using the mouse in metro land. running the metro interface on desktop isn't an official product which we maintain.

I've seen this in metro as well in Immersive mode but I don't have exact steps.
