Title:
firefox occasionally highlights contents of form fields while typing
thereby overwriting previously entered keystrokes
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
Invalid
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
On occasion while typing into a form field in firefox (search field,
url field, webpage form field), after typing a few characters, the
browser will automatically highlight the previously entered
characters, causing my subsequently entered keystrokes to overwrite
the previously entered keystrokes. I cannot reproduce this behavior
reliably, though it does happen quite often. There are various
methods that I have used to make the problem go away, though none work
reliably. These include closing the tab, hitting enter to cause a
pageload, restarting the browser.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04. This problem was not present in Ubuntu 9.10
on the same hardware. The firefox package version is 3.6.3+nobinonly-
0ubuntu4.
