Search text within page does not skip to next found item when I click on next.

1- Be anywhere. Any URL.
2- Press Command+F
3- The "Find in page..." bar appears.
4- Type the string you are looking for.
5- Press enter.
6- The page scrolls automatically to the first item in the page matching the string you typed, and highlights it in green (in my case). great, so far.
7- Then, there are two "arrows" (a smaller than and a greater then signs) right next to the box in the search bar when you typed the string.
8- When I click on the "next" (greater than) sign, the first term found goes from green highlight to yellow highlight, but then if the next occurrence is not visible on the area where the page is, but further down the page, Opera does not scroll down to where the next occurrence is!

As it is. The search within page is nearly useless, since you have to manually scroll the page, paying careful attention IF you can see the green highlighted item. 99% of the time it is very difficult to spot it, especially in very "texty" websites and when the pages are long.

Does anyone have any insights? Is there a setting somewhere? What can be done? Is this a bug?

Help appreciated. Thank you in advance, R.
