      Hi everyone,

      Thanks for providing your thoughts and votes on this suggestion. We know it's been a while since this suggestion was raised and we're sorry to have kept you without a clear answer.

      Your feedback has helped us better understand the challenges have with Ctrl+F in pull requests. Despite our lack of communication, this problem is actually one of those areas we plan to improve in mid-term.

      Thank you again for all your feedback on this suggestion and we're looking forward to give you more updates as we work on the solution.

      Best,

      Original message

      The stash pull request diff view (both side-by-side and unified) break page search due to their fancy javascript-based scrolling. Only the visible region (plus a bit extra) of the diff is stored in the DOM, so your browser's search can only find stuff in that visible region. This is premature optimization: A web browser can easily hold the entire DOM tree for the diff between multi-thousand line files.

      Related to this: a number of our developers have had issues with diffs not scrolling properly.
