IE9: Search and replace does not work #211

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

IE9 seems to display the following issue:

-- Open the search and replace dialog box
-- Search for a string in the text

Loki does not highlight any found text or produce a message saying the text 
could not be found. Attempts to replace this text with another string are also 
unsuccessful.

This is related to the fact that IE9 supports DOM Range and HTML5 Selection, 
but not the gecko supported find method ... if it did support find, we could 
just replace the IE specific broken logic. This requires more investigation and 
a fix in UI.Find_Helper, ideally one that makes the IE9 logic parallel with 
Gecko and not yet another code browser specific logic branch.

I'm deferring this for the moment.
