Dunno if it's any help, but on my Windows box (at work! I wouldn't dream of running it 
at home!) Mozilla does what I think might be the same thing. Sometimes all the <input 
type="text"> boxes simply don't let me type anything in, and the address bar won't let 
me type stuff in. However, I still get the context menu (cut/copy/paste/select all). I 
can also select the text inside - I just can't replace it (except by cut/pasting other 
text inside). I've been trying for a while to consistently get this to happen, but no 
luck yet.

If that's the same problem as you're getting, I'd say it's most likely a bug with 
Mozilla and not blackbox :)
