Environment

* Google Chrome

* Mac OS

Steps taken

* Disabled keyboard shortcuts in Jira -- Click ? > Keyboard Shortcuts > Disable

* logout and login again

Investigation

Interestingly, when I do manage to get browser search working, content I *know* is on the page doesn't appear.

Solution

Also, add the CMD+F keyboard shortcut to the shortcuts dialog so they can be disabled if desired (and design your page so the content is searchable)!

Workaround
