Highlighting flaw when searching specific words

Hi there.

Sometimes Opera does not highlight correctly when searching in pages. I'll give an example:

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. click on "create a new topic" in one of operas forums
2. click somewhere on the page so the focus is away from the title input element
3. move your mouse to the "bold" button and let it rest there
4. (the help text should show "Bold" beyond the button)
5. start an inline search (hit "." or "/")
6. type "bo"
7. the page gets darkened and the word "Inbox" on top of the page is highlighted, but not "Bold"
8. type "l"
9. the page is still darkened and the first 3 letters of the word "Bold" get black while still not highlighted
10. click somewhere in the page
11. the page is no longer darkened but the first 3 letters "Bol" still are black

It's even funnier when you search for something that's nowhere else on the page. Example:
- move your mouse over the button for justifying Text
- start an inline search and search for "just"
- the page will not even be grayed out, but the first 4 letters of the word "Justify" will get black

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
DerYo-->
