[bug] Never ending reddit breaks page search/middle click bage scrolling

With more than 1 "page" loaded by never ending reddit, whenever I try to search for text on a page, or use the middle mouse button scroll it stops my scrolling or cancels out my search anytime more than one "page" passes. There also is no way to turn this off in options as it appears to be a new "feature" of Never Ending Reddit.

EDIT: Page no bage. DERPED

no way to turn what off, exactly?

edit: also, i can't replicate the issue you're having. any chance you're running any conflicting addons?

Disabled all other addons, whenever I search for text that tries to jump more than 1 page, or use middle mouse button scrolling (not scrollwheel), the search gets cancelled, or the scrolling gets stooped.

Are you talking about CTRL+Fing to search? If you are I had a similar problem. Try to clarify that if you are, he's kind may be confused between the search bar (for reddit) and the browser search.

i figured it was ctrl-f

if you have this problem again can you let me know under what circumstances? I can't replicate it.

So to rule out a bug from upgrading, I uninstalled then re-installed the extension, and had all the others disabled. Still get the problem. Just to clarify:

  1. Load up a few pages using NER.
  2. ctrl+f search for something that is on a different "page" to what you are currently looking at
  3. The search box gets closed

Or, for the scrolling:

  1. Load up a few pages using NER
  2. Start the middle click scroll
  3. Whenever you scroll over a "page", the scrolling gets stopped.

This is on both my desktop and laptop. From doing tech support on laptops for work, I know how you feel when you get issues that you can't reproduce. When I get the chance I will do a chrome re install and try it "fresh".

Reddit has sear... oh how the hell did I never see that before.

Yeah, CTRL+F text search.

Woah...no way. You have never seen that before? I would still ignore it... it's awful.
