Does this match what you're seeing No.

If it were as convoluted as you just described, then it would be my fault it was happening. The fact that you considered that convoluted method to reproduce this implies that you think I'm trying really hard to find obscure problems.

This "just happens" for me when the line is on-screen vertically, but the string is off-screen horizontally.

Whether you can replicate it does not change the fact that this is one of the many problems happening for me, therefore I would like the option to turn it off for myself on all wikis.

Even if you did manage to fix this one issue, I highly doubt you would be able to disable the native-browser search, so the problem would remain that "The native browser search cannot find text which is off-screen vertically because the "syntax highlighting script" breaks standard functionality by not rendering it."

As you can see in the screenshot, the custom search bar is not present. There are two possible explanations for this: Which one of these options do you think is true?
 * I deliberately closed it after using it in order to deceive you.
 * I didn't use the custom search bar.

In this case, the fact that Wikia has disabled user CSS and JS when editing JS pages actually helps me for once, because we can immediately eliminate the third option of "user JS/CSS is causing an issue which wouldn't normally occur".

I'm sorry about the instances where I've mistakenly reported issues which were caused by my personal customizations, but I have never actively attempted to deceive you about any bugs I've experienced.

edit: Just in case I "accidentally" did what you suggested, I just checked again, and it still occurs exactly as I've described it.
