Keen Eyes Required on Macintosh Safari!

Nov 11, 2007 23:51

I found an answer to a previous problem and rushed to update it here.

But first, I had to load this LJ Blog and wow, I sure have made a lot of entries! Thats because... well, you know why by now; My Mac Sucks.

Never one to fail to disappoint when called upon, my Macintosh happily provided me with another buglike problem to replace the one which I had discovered the configuration workaround for! What fun!

While trying to search thru this journal to report my discovery, I discovered that if I use the "Find" feature, Apple-F, in Safari, while it does highlight the word I am looking for, it only does so if I have the actual browser part of Safari as the topmost, active window!

I wonder where the "Don't conceal found items while finding" checkbox is!

If I have the find dialog box open, the freshly found word that ought to be highlighted, isn't. I have no clue where on the page I am supposed to look, because its all still black text on white background. Only when I return to the actual browser window, burying the "Find" dialog box underneath, can I see where the word was found.

This makes it sort of difficult to use the "previous" and "next" buttons in the find feature to search thru a web page, to say the least...
