The bug appears to be related to the suggestion feature and possibly the spelling-correction-feature. When you type something in a field, suggestions come up (based on what you have previously typed in the same or similar fields). When the described bug appears, the auto-suggestions stop working.
Suggested workarounds from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9724642#post9724642: • Right-click the search bar and uncheck "Show Suggestions" • Go to "Preferences -> Advanced" and uncheck "Check my spelling as I type" -- firefox occasionally highlights contents of form fields while typing thereby overwriting previously entered keystrokes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
