Every now an then, I experiences input boxes stop accepting text.  If I restart the browser everything is fine.  It's hard to replicate.  Google docs and gmail are where I experience this the most.

I am using nightly 64 bit with e10s turned on.
I think those sites use <div contenteditable> rather than form controls (<input> or <textarea>).
Can you check? (using devtools)

Looks like <div contenteditable>

<div tabindex="1" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 85px;" role="textbox" g_editable="true" id=":3mg" class="Am Al editable LW-avf" hidefocus="true" aria-label="Message Body" contenteditable="true"><br></div>

Thanks, this is probably an Editor / e10s issue then.  Perhaps it would help narrow it down
if you run with e10s turned off for a while and see if the problem disappears?

Given that these are top100 sites, this should probably block shipping e10s.

I'll try to find reliable STR's and whether it's worse on e10s or not.

Sorry about that Martin. I meant to NI myself.

NP.  Again, wish I had better duplication steps.  As far as I can tell so far it happens randomly and fairly infrequently.  Have not been able to find a repro case yet.  I have seen it happen with and without e10s turned on.

per comment 7, not e10s specific.

Are you still experiencing this, Martin?

I have not run into this lately.  I have been using nightly pretty aggressively and have not run into this in some time.

I don't see anything to do here without more specific steps to reproduce, especially given comment 10.

Let's re-open this if it starts happening again.
