Noticed while posting to Firebird forums that sometimes if I make a spelling
mistake I can use the arrow keys to scroll back and fix typo and sometimes I cannot.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Firebird forums
2.Post new topic, type text
3.Arrow keys will work about 50% of the time

Actual Results:  
Like I said 50/50 arrow keys work don't work.

Expected Results:  
Arrow keys should always move cursor in text fields.

No crashes.  Bug almost random.  Sometimes cursor disappears also, I believe
this is a known bug but didn't look it up as it doesn't bother me as much as
arrow keys not wrking, also seems independent of arrow key problem but possibly
linked.

Reporter, can you try the latest nightly of the both Firebird and Mozilla?

WFM too, is this still a problem?
This has happened to me in Mozilla before on various sites, particularly Blogger
(when posting,) and Yahoo! Mail (while composing.)  I don't remember the version
I was using at the time, but I'm currently using 1.6b and I don't recall ever
seeing this.

Can anyone reproduce this with a recent build?
