Whether in complex forms (for example: this Bugzilla's "Component" field*) or applications like Trello or Kanboard (two kanban board web applications that allow having individual scrolling columns of items), Epiphany's Ctrl+F feature should be able to automatically scroll those scrolling components when it finds matches in them (WebKitGtk is already finding those results, just not scrolling to them). For example, if I have a very long list of items in a trello column, each column can scroll individually, and the search result I'm looking for may therefore be off-screen. Epiphany tells me it can find the match for what I'm looking for, but it nevers shows the currently selected (if there are multiple matches, even if I click the v/^ buttons in the searchbar) to me, because it's off-screen due to scrolling. In comparison, Firefox is able to do this as expected. Tested with Epiphany 44 / WebKitGTK 2.40.0 --- *: yeah, I know you can use typehead instead of find in this particular case, but this was just an example...
