It seems I have a found a bug in mozilla when I try to paste into a form long sequence of uninterrupted chars [a-z]. For example, I paste into a formsheet a sequence without any newline of 4681 chars. Then when I try to append one more character and the small form window goes empty. This doesn't happen with opera. I
have found this originally with mozilla 1.6-r1 and it seems the bug is confirmed by another user at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44362.
