Yes, it's an accessibility feature called Type Ahead Find which is
enabled by default in SeaMonkey. In about:config you can disable by
setting these prefs to false:
accessibility.typeaheadfind
accessibility.typeaheadfind.autostart
I've changed both to FALSE, as suggested -- thank you!
Does anyone know what "Type Ahead Find" is supposed to do?
I think the default is well chosen.
I often to search in a page. It is anoying to have to enter CTRL-F
then type. This way I can just type. I don't have the problems you
have. To enter in a web box and not search just make sure the web box
is selected first.
What do you mean by "make sure the web box is selected first"? If I'm in
the middle of typing in a web box, doesn't that mean that web box has
already been selected? Is there some other step I've been missing?
Is it possible that you are hitting a tab that takes you out of the
input field in the form? Is it possible that the field in the form is
of a specific length and forwards you to something other than another
text input field when you hit the last character? Either of these could
result in the behavior you report.
