O9.00 Internal 181(.1) and F3
Robt. W. Fletcher Jr
1. Start Opera (opera --personaldir /tmp/testopera &)
2. Select unix keyboard shortcuts.
3. F2 http://my.opera.com/community/forums/forum.dml?id=3
4. Enter , ie the keyboard shorcut for (comma Find Inline, 2)
5. Enter 'opera'
6. There are several links on this page that have 'opera' in them.
7. Enter F3 a couple of times to skip over the first few.
8. Then key in Enter.
9. The page displays.
10. Then key in Backspace (we return to the Opera for Linux main page)
11. Enter F3 (I would like to continue searching for links that have
the word 'opera' in them)
12. Instead of picking up where it left off -- F3 takes me to the
first link in the page that has 'opera' in it.
Most distressing -- appears to be a regression.

Sadly this bug still exists in O9.00 'final' 344 (.1). A clear
regression from how 8.54(.1) worked.

Guess this bug was deferred to 10.mumble, since it still exists in
9.01(.1)-400.

Sounds like the same bug "feature???" I reported back in May (207212):
Describe in 3 steps or more how to reproduce this bug
1. Sroll down on a page where there are multiple occurences of a given
word.
2. Highlight some text to set the "focus"
3. Use any method (Ctrl-F, F3, "/") for finding text in the page.
1. What do you expect to happen? *
Expect the first match to occur *after* the current position in
the page. This worked in version 8, as long as a bit of text was
"focussed."
2. What actually happens?
Opera jumps to the top of the page, and begins at the first occurrence
of the search term, and I must step through each occurrence of the
term on the page until I get back to the relevant section.
It's beyond annoying, IMO. Just plain ol' broken. No other app I can
think of behaves this way, and who would want it to? Consider the case
where there are, say, a hundred occurences of my search term in a very
long document, and the context I want is in the middle of the doc. What
an exercise in frustation to find my place again!
Please, won't someone fix this?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I don't believe it -- I'm unable to duplicate this issue w/ Opera
9.50-1652(.6).
