The find function used to automatically scroll to the next word, now it doesn't. How do I fix it?

The find function used to automatically scroll to the instance of the word I was looking for. Now it doesn't. How do I fix this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few months ago

Hmm... you're right. I don't have access to that Google Doc, but our support.mozilla.com weekly metrics are on Google Docs, and I see the same issue there.
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aibg4PvTbjUKcGlBLWEtZFhDTDJwN3ZCNXBUdTBIS0E&hl=en#gid=0
It may be specific to Google spreadsheets (and whether or not you have permission to edit the doc). I'm currently trying to find out if that's a Firefox bug, or a Google bug. If you use the '''Ctrl-F''' keyboard shortcut, Google's Find feature takes over, so they obviously want people using their Find utility.

  • Why the vertical scrollbar bar is automatically scrolled to the bottom pos.

    I created a JScrollpane to contain a JTabbedPane. The JTabbedPane has two JPanel and each of them has a number of GUI components such as JCheckbox and JTextField. They have different size because their GUI components are different. The 2nd panel is about twice the size of the first panel.
    When the JScrollpane is shown, its vertical scroll bar is automatically scrolled to the bottom position. However, it is the first panel that is initially visible to the user. So, the user will see no GUI components of the first panel because the auto scrolling of the vertical scroll bar.
    Can anyone tell me how to disable the auto scrolling?
    I just want to let the scrollbar knob stay at the top so that the GUI components of the first panel (the smaller one) can be seen initially!

    Works fine for me:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class TabbedPaneScroll extends JFrame
         private JTabbedPane tabbedPane;
         public TabbedPaneScroll()
              tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
              tabbedPane.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(300, 200) );
              getContentPane().add(tabbedPane);
              addNewTab( 10 );
              addNewTab( 5 );
              addNewTab( 20 );
         private void addNewTab(int fields)
              JPanel panel = new JPanel();
              panel.setLayout( new GridLayout(0, 1) );
              for (int i = 0; i < fields; i++)
                   panel.add( new JTextField("" + i) );
              JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( panel );
              tabbedPane.add(scrollPane, "" + fields);
         public static void main(String args[])
              TabbedPaneScroll frame = new TabbedPaneScroll();
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              frame.pack();
              frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
              frame.setVisible(true);

  • How does one install non-English character sets for use with the "find" function in Acrabat Pro 11?

    I have pdf files in European languages and want to be able to enter non-English characters in the "find" function. How does one install other character sets for use with Acrobat Pro XI?

    Have you tried applying the update by going to Help>Updates within Photoshop Lightroom?  The update should be using the same licensing?  Did you perhaps customize the installation location?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • Using the "Find" function in RoboHelp 9.0.1.262

    I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.1.262. Is it possible to use the "Find" function to find text in an entire project? I have only been able to use it to find text in individual topics within the project. This would be very inconvenient to have to go to each topic to do the search.

    I'm not sure I would quite agree with saying the RH Find and Replace is lame or that FAR is just another text editor.
    The RoboHelp Multi File Find and Replace has a serious limitation but it is one that is common. Most text editors do not search across multiple lines as I said.
    FAR is not something I would regard as a text editor, more a compilation of authoring tools. Just today it save me a whole lot of work by being able to extract an HHC file from a CHM so that I could then get it into a RoboHelp project I had inherited with a wrecked TOC.

  • The find function in my calendar is not working.

    I am running your Yosemite on a new MacBook Pro. The find function in calendar has suddenly ceased working. If I search for a name or an event even though I know it exists that name or event is not found.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • I have a MacBook, made in 2010. I can't get the eject function to work. I have a DVD in now and want to eject it and put another one in. Command-E, dragging it to the trash or Find-Eject does not work. Ideas?

    Hi there. Hear are some other options . Hold down for click on the track pad while restarting and keep it down all the way thru boot. Or use right click on a mouse. If it's stuck, sometimes sticking a business card in top edge of slot while trying the eject option can work.

  • The Find function (Ctrl+F), mis-finds the desired simple text in Acrobat Standard, but works fine in Reader

    Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.13, Win 7 64bit, 
    The Find function (Ctrl+F), mis-finds the desired simple text. 
    This is not a scanned document.  When I search for some word that DOES exist in the document, Acrobat will highlight text that does not match at all and which does NOT contain the word.  If I select the actual word, copy and past the text, I get the selected text accurately, but when I paste the same selected text into the Find box to search for it, Acrobat still mis-finds. 
    HOWEVER, I can open the very same .PDF file in Acrobat Reader X and do not have the same problem - Find works correctly in Reader with the same .PDF. 
    What is going on?!  Both Acrobat standard, and Reader report that they are up to date.   Please help.

    Can you try rasterizing (converting the document to tiff/bmp) and then importing those image files (tiff/bmp) back in Acrobat.
    This would allow document to be re-OCRed and you will be able to search text in it. You can use lossless export/import settings to preserve the quality of ducment.
    For exporting the file:
    1: Go to File > Save As Other > Image > Tiff.
    2: Click on Settings button in the Save As Dialog and set the file settings as ZIP for Monochrome, Grayscale and Color.
    Now for importing the files back:
    1: Press Ctrl + K
    2: In the Preferences dialog, select Convert To PDF option in Categories.
    3: Choose tiff or bmp (as per the format used while exporting) and un-check Scan Optimization and OCR.
    4: Set Color and Grayscale to Zip and Monochrome to CCITT G4.
    5: Save the settings.
    6: Now import all the pages in Acrobat.
    7: You can use Combine Files feature to merge all the image files.

  • The find function is not working

    When I use the Find Function [CTRL +F] the word I am looking for is not found in the body of the web page - even when I know the word is there.

    Sometimes the "Match case" button on the find bar gets checked, so make sure that isn't the problem. Some pages also have multiple frames and I've noticed Firefox sometimes doesn't search in all the frames. If there's a particular site where you see this, could you post the URL?

  • How can I change the find function so that it "IS" shared between tabs?

    In the notes about what changed in Firefox 25 is this: "The find bar is no longer shared between tabs." I use the find function all day every day and absolutely need the find bar "to be shared" between tabs. How can I change the function back to how it worked before?
    This new change in version 25 will cost me hours of search time everyday.

    Hi,
    The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
    If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback).

    he print program is used to print forms. The program retieves the necesary data from datbase tables, defines the order of in which text elements are printed, chooses a form for printing and selects an output device and print options.
    Function modules in a printprogram:
    When you print a form you must used the staments OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM. To combine forms into a single spool request use START_FORM and END_FORM.
    To print textelements in a form use WRITE_FORM. The order in which the textelements are printed, is determined by the order of the WRITE_FORM statements. Note: for printing lines in the body, you can also use the WRITE_FORM_LINES function module.
    To transfer control command to a form use CONTROL_FORM.

  • The Find function does not work with one of my pdf files

    I uninstalled whatever version of the reader that had been my computer at installed 11.0.06. Same problem. Seems like the Find function has a problem with just one of my many pdf files.
    For the problem file, the PDF Producer was IIPDFLib2.x, version 1.5. Fast Web View: Yes.
    Windows 8.1
    Rebel1

    I can not select any text, either individual letters or sequences of letters. If I left-click and drag while holding the left button down, I generate a rectangular selection. I can then Ctrl-C the selection and paste it in Word.
    So it is a image, with a pdf filename ending rather than jpg or something similar. That probably also explains why the image quality is much worse than with genuine PDF files.
    Thanks,
    Rebel1

  • Can't find some strings with the Find function in LV2012

    Hi
    I got a problem with the "Find function" in LV2012.
    The Find function can't find the text "IniFile: WriteKeys" in the string constant in the innercase.
    Why is that?
    I have tried to plase a copy of the constant(se next picture)  and then it can only find the one marked with yellow!
    regards Bjarne

    Hi Anders.
    Thank you
    I have tried the things you suggested and my strings are exactly the same and it didn't work to put the outside-string(that could be found) inside the case.
    Here is the VI but be aware the broken arrow, because the sub VIs is not incorporated
    By the way, my name is Bjarne, not Bjarke

  • Mouse or trackpad automatically scrolls down the screen

    Hello everyone. My mouse, without moving in the screen, automatically scrolls down the window I've got selected, don't know why. During this problem if I try to scroll upwards, it'll scroll down again, therefore I can't read websites, etc.
    It happens for a few secs, and then becomes normal again automatically.
    Any ideas or even better, solutions? Everything's updated, but it's really weird.
    Thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor English, not my first language.

    Don't worry about your english it's fine. English is my only language and I still have problems with it.
    I'm going to take a wild stab at this as it happened to me some time ago. Do you have a pen tablet with the pen laying on the tablet?
