           Summary: Find in page -- spaces fail to match tab characters
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
               URL: data:text/html,a%09b
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

        ReportedBy: yoz at chromium.org


When a tab character is in the HTML source, rendered as a space, it should match if the user enters a space into the find input.

For example, finding "a b" in
data:text/html,a%09b

fails in Webkit nightly and Chrome 12 beta, but succeeds in Firefox 4, IE 8, and Opera 10.

Another example real URL:
http://www.dipsea.org/2009/2009results_0630.html
in which "INV / 1" is unfindable because the HTML uses tab characters.

I couldn't find a way to insert a tab character into the find input, so I can't tell if that would match.

This works fine with some other kinds of whitespace, e.g. %0A (newline).
