It's true that the found, selected, text is sometimes just above --1
line above-- the status bar (which is found at the very bottom of the
window).
Hence, the line following the found, selected, text is sometimes
hidden below the status bar.
We'll try to improve this the best we can in the next version of
XMLmind XML Editor.
Great.
However we cannot guarantee that we'll succeed (because there is no
concept of "lines" in XMLmind XML Editor, which means that this may be
hard or impossible to implement.)
Are Web browsers a relevant thing to compare with? When Web browsers
follow a link to a fragment, they scroll the document so that the line -
or the location - with the fragment getrs placed just below the top-bar
of the window. This helps the user to focus on the fragment. (If the
fragment has a padding. AFAIR, if the found fragment has a top-padding,
then the space between the fragment and the top bar will be equivalent
to the width of the top-padding - that way the author could make the
fragment be placed in the middle of the page.)
May be I am just under impression of translating XMLmind, but I think -
if I had to choose - that I would consider the browser behavior an
improvement.
