User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

If I add a custom field to my Filter Rules, I have to exit the filter rules
dialog before I can create a rule that uses it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools | Message Filters...
2. New...
3. Open the "Subject" pulldown, select "Customize..."
4. Enter "Test" (or similar)
5. Add.
6. OK.
7. Type name of filter or filter matching string.


Actual Results:  
No text appears in text boxes - the boxes accept focus and show the caret, but
typing is ineffctive.

Expected Results:  
entered the text typed.

This PC is under 24 hours old, with a fresh installation of XP (with all service
packs) and very little else installed apart from the OS and Mozilla.

Thanks Guiseppe - I've retested on the same machine with this build:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

And the problem is still present.

For the record; I have a Radeon 9700 Pro graphics card which has been exhibiting
strange behaviour intermittently; it may be not be related but I mention it just
in case...

I can confirm that this happens on a Windows 2000 machine with a ATI-All-In-
Wonder Pro 128.  Exact same problem and procedure encountered.

Note that the duplicate includes a workaround: type Tab to move from the 
dropdown, rather than using the mouse to click, and all is well.
