           Summary: text-overflow: ellipsis scrolls during find in page
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Text
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: bokowski at gmail.com


Find.../Ctrl-F will scroll text that got clipped using text-overflow: ellipsis, without updating which part gets clipped, effectively scrolling an invisible area into view.

The attached HTML file can be used to reproduce the problem, it is pretty self-explanatory.

If you don't use text-overflow: ellipsis, the matching text will scroll into view properly, but it's still not ideal since there is no way to undo the scrolling after you are done finding stuff on the page.

I am filing this bug against WebKit because it can be reproduced in Chrome 21.0.1180.57 on Linux/Ubuntu and Safari 5.1.7 on Windows. (Originally filed as http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13563)
