Scrolling to the wrong position

[vinismarques]

Found a website where it is not working correctly. This one isn't a big deal because I don't use it daily as Notion, but sharing because you might be able to troubleshoot and make the extension more compatible overall.

I tried finding the "ROLE" text that is inside the "Reserved keyword reference" section with Mark My Search, but the page was scrolled to the wrong position. Ctrl + F works fine but finds many other non-whole-word matches.

Thank you for your report! This is interesting and has led me to another problem that seems to be Firefox-specific.

• (Firefox only) Element.scrollIntoView() method is flawed. I probably won't replace this, but have filed this behaviour as a bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1826158

• The problem with "jumping" (scrolling) is it only scrolls to the middle of a 'container' element. A container can hold any number of keywords; in your case, only ROLE in a list of text items. I am planning to update this so that it specifically puts the first keyword in view.

• There is an alternate way of scrolling called "stepping". I recommend trying it!

  • Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts
  • Find "Step to and select next highlight", and assign a shortcut like Alt+G; then another for "previous highlight"
  • "Stepping" will select (highlight) the next single match from the current point
  • Jumping and stepping are compatible: you can mix them, and they will continue from the same point in the page
