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.
This feature is a huge time saver to me.
On Facebook, the FIRST character would appear in the text box, but then
every other character appeared in a "FIND" box that suddenly appeared
out of nowhere at the top of the screen. It got REALLY annoying having
to click in the text box after EVERY letter to enter sentences. Ever
since I made the change, this idiocy doesn't happen anymore. I was
getting ready to just make Chrome my default browser but now I can
continue using Seamonkey.
Now, if only they'd fix that problem in the newsreader...
