So say you want to find the LAST mention of "apple" in the text field. You press control F, then you type in "apple" and click the previous button (you actually have to his the previous button twice, just so you have the one in the text field selected). Now say you want to change that word to, say, "apples". If you click on the word, the text field automatically scrolls to the top; which is obviously a bit annoying. There is only one way that I know out of this, and that is to click out side of the text field after you have your word selected, and then you click on the word, but this isn't really ideal.

The actual highlighting of in-page search results is handled by Safari, so like bug 20584, you should file this at <https://bugreport.apple.com/>.
