Search feature in the notes: the highlighted matches results are off-screen

edited January 31, 2021
When the source code of the note contains items (div, images…) that are larger than the note panel, the highlighted matches results are off-screen (or only half visible, at the very bottom of the note).

To test it just insert in a note this image within a long text containing some keywords to search
Here the image is smaller than the note width and the search result is visible: https://imgur.com/kFnqAaL
Here the image width is larger than the note width and the search result is not visible: https://imgur.com/H1ZtxGa

To reproduce the bug:
Add this code in the source code of a note and increase the width to test :
<p><img style="width: 135px;" src="https://i.imgur.com/0nhBLYh.png" alt="" height="68" /></p>

One solution would be to enable scrolling on the note while the search window is open.

This is related to this feature request to improve the search feature: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/41766/searching-within-notes
The search feature is quite useless: in addition to the problem mentioned above, the find panel is too big, and it often hides the selected words, and the selected word is often out of the view, and we can't see it since we can't move up or down while the find panel is showing.

Thanks for your work!
