Description

Author: patrickmarshall

Description:
I am using MS IE8 64-bit edition on Windows 7. Note, does not occur on Google Chrome.

From main page

  1. Click on any link
  1. From the new page, click on another link on the page
  1. Use the browser "back" button.

Note that the word "search" is no longer greyed out and does not disappear when you move the text cursor to the search field. You must now remove the word "search" or it will append to your search text.

caused by Javascript for searchbox not having completed before the user clicks in the box. More common now that scripts are ran 'late' due to having moved to the bottom of the page.

Behavior has changed. Now whenever search field is blanked out, re-fills blank field with "Search" which is not greyed out.

Occurs on MS IE8 64-bit edition, Google Chrome 64-bit is OK.

  1. From main page.
  2. Set focus on "Search" box.
  3. Click anywhere to take focus out of search box. The "Search" dummy field is now persistent (does not disappear as it is supposed to). It will append to your search text.

If Firefox 4 beta on XP the word "search" isn't grayed, but remains black all the time. But it does disappear when it is supposed to.

It seems to be fixed with r83152, at least I can't reproduce the bug any longer in IE 8 and FF 3.6.2.
