Hi,

Has anybody tried these 2 patches for the browser on the phone?

https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/patch-sailfish-browser-text-selection-patch

https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/patch-search-text-page-browser

If yes, has anyone faced any issues?

I tried them, but don't work well for me. Selection does not match to text sometimes. It also misbehaves when zooming. And selektion stays visible on next pages where it is totally out of context.

But maybe you can give it a try and tell me your experience...

I juat scroll up and down when highlighted text doesn't match what I wanted to mark. I see this issue closly related to browser badly interpreting place of touch on page but not to patch itself. Despite this issue I find those patches very useful.

I did try Browser Search Patch and it work but it get time to understand how it show result (or maybe its just me ) sometimes it just highlight search phrase and don't roll page to it or do it when you typing and when you are done you don't see result (doesn't roll to it automatically or do it wrong) but most of the time it is more useful then without the patch at all :)
