It looks like it's a combination of Firefox and a transparent wmode as can be seen here ( http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2005/06/firefox-wmodetransparent-is-completely-screwy-and-breaks-textfields/) in Firefox 3.5.7 and Flash Player 10. The blog post wasn't created to demonstrate the double-character movement, but the issue reveals itself in the example anyway. Thanks for the wmode tip. I knew the wmode had issues, but didn't think it could intervene with text fields in such a manner.
