Bug 83758 – Web Inspector: Node Value should not get corrupt while jump over different matches in search.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)

[sam]

Steps to reproduce :
1). Open html file, as an attachment.
2). Get to the inspect element view/
3). Try for searching "we".
4). Jump over different search matches.
5). Observe the text value getting misplaced for anchor node.

Expected Behavior: text value should not get misplacd

Constructing highlight node for a matched element requires 2 modes of operations.
"added" -> for adding new span element for matched value with highlight class.
"changed" -> for appending/manipulating  prefix/suffix node to highlight node.

There are cases were there will be multiple instances of matches in a node.
This will follow the same mode of operations for other matches in a node, but now on manipulated nodes.

While exec updateSearchHighlight, for hiding the highlights for cached results, the order in which updateEntryHide is called should then work in rev order to preserve the semantic of node.

I am creating a patch for it. I will upload it soon!!

Since this now falls into two branches, it would be better to remove the |updater| var (which was introduced to avoid branching) altogether and call updateEntryShow and updateEntryHide directly in the branches instead.

I believe it's ready for landing!

optional: I'd replace the word "semantic" by "structure" for clarity.

Ditto.
