Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178520

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jay Davis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021122
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021122

Say you are at a search site or at your web email page.  A recent regression has
been that when you are typing into the box for search terms or your email
password, and the page just finished loading itself, whatever you've typed so
far will then be highlighted and the next letter you type will wipe it out.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Google preferably on dial-up which is slow enough to observe this.
2.Start to type something into the box before the Google graphic is loaded.
3.Watch.


Expected Results:  
Mozilla should never interfere with typing that is occuring.
