Canvas: focus to search results in large cards

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set a low value in canvas setting - Zoom threshold for hiding card content.
  2. Search something in canvas through the usual search. Click on a fond line.

Actual result

  1. If the card contains a small amount of text - focus shows a found text of line. If the zoom level is not comfortable, you can reduce the distance and click on the line again. Everything is fine.
  2. But, if there is a lot of text in the card, then focus always shows not a specific line of text, but to entire card as a whole. At the sixth zoom level! With low zoom threshold - gray region with approximate text location.

Expected result

When clicking on search results, focus always, in small and big cards, shows the specific line of found text an 3-4th zoom level. Not 6/8!
Or ability to configure this parameter in the settings.

I am not sure I understand you
post a screen recording of this happening in the sandbox vault.

Two cards The first contains text “111”. The second - a lot of text and numbers “333”.

First problem:

Maximum camera zoom. Searching for 111, click on result. Instead of focus to text “111”, occur focus to the card.


But I don’t need a card, I want to see text “111”.
This happens if you reduce zoom to lesser level and again click on search result.
For 4th zoom level:

Second problem:

  1. When I click on a search result, I want to see a line of text with “333”.
  2. I click on the result, but for some reason I see only card, not the text!
    If click at minimum zoom distance, focus occurs at 5/8 zoom level.
    If click at maximum zoom distance, focus remains at maximum 8/8 zoom level.
  3. To see where exactly the text “333” I should either use second, card, search:

    Or maximize “Zoom threshold for hiding card content”.
  4. Why I can’t click on the result of search and, with any card size and any zoom level, see searched text with comfortable 3-4th level of zoom? Or set it up in settings?

The first is not a bug. What you are asking is an improvement.
When the canvas is zoomed out, and a search result is clicked, it should be zoomed in to make the content visible. (you can open a FR for this.)

The second is not a bug, it’s the way Search/highlighting works in reader mode, that is a at block level. In your example, you have one big block.

What is FR?
