Slow and buggy find-in-page recently |
||||||||||
Issue descriptionChrome Version: Google Chrome 70.0.3538.67 (Official Build) (64-bit) Revision 9ab0cfab84ded083718d3a4ff830726efd38869f-refs/branch-heads/3538@{#1002} OS: Linux, Mac What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Visit a big webpage with a lot of text (2) Press ctrl+F to find things in page What is the expected result? It should be smooth and instantly like it used to be What happens instead? Very slow behavior sometimes, and even often displays "0/1" which doesn't make sense. I can no longer trust it when it says no results, because sometimes if I wait 3 seconds, suddenly it will finish computing the results and show them. This makes it very hard to use chrome efficiently.

This is really bad and makes chrome unusable compared to before where the find-in-page was practically instant. I have to actually copy/paste the text content into a text editor to do my work reliably. More than once I have made incorrect conclusion about the text because it said no results found, only to find out later it was "0/1" which means it's still loading or something.

I believe I also encountered this bug once on my Windows computer, so marking it as affecting windows too. Chrome never had this bug until about a month ago, so marking the bug as a regression. It would be nice if an older version of Chrome were made available for those of us who really need the find-in-page functionality to work as intended.

+1 for another person hitting this on Linux starting about a month ago. I see this on not-particularly-large pages (20k chars / 500 lines of text). It's always(?) the first search on the page. After that, subsequent searches are fast. But the behavior is inconsistent in the first place, so I'm not certain of any of this.
