Description
open /lib/libdbus-1.so.*, search for "glib" (well, that's the example which shows the problem with my particular libdbus build).
mcview apparently finds a match, but there is no sign of it on the screen.
my hypothesis is that the match is simply so deep into the "line" (actually, whatever in the binary mcview thinks is a line) that it was "wrapped out of the screen". as mcview clears the match highlight on the first cursor movement, even scrolling won't make the hit visible. the solution to that problem would be a more intelligent selection of the visible area after the hit, taking into account wrapping, formatting (which of course makes no sense in the first place when the file is binary), etc.
