mozilla will come to a grinding halt, but does not segfault. if window is moved,
nothing redraws.

2.select keyboard navigation
3.enable find as you type
4.try to enter any url in the url box.

Actual Results:  
mozilla came to a halt. no redraw either after moving window. 

Expected Results:  
autocompleted the url or at least attempted to.


im using xfree 4.3 fbsd 4.8 stable, windowmaker latest stable
athlon 1400xp 256mb ram
asus mobo.

this happened as soon as mozilla has compiled from the freebsd ports, no special
compilation options, just make clean install. as soon as i ran it from csh.

Workaround: leave "Find As You Type" unchecked, and use / to start incremental
search on page for text, and ' to start incremental search only in links tekst
(_not_ in URLs).
