105687 - Search field in form loses focus; unable to return focus to text field.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106489

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[corey]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012
BuildID:    20011012

When user tries to enter text in the search field, cursor focus disappears from
text bod;  user is then unable to return focus to it.  User thus cannot use the
search function.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load Client
2. go to URL: http://www.alibris.com/
3. Click in the "Search" field on the left-hand side of the page, to set focus.
4. Begin typing a search term


Actual Results:  After one keystroke, the focus disappears; user cannot enter
anything into the field, nor can s/he return focus to that field.  Keystroke
that user enters does not appear in text box.

Expected Results:  User should be able to enter a search term.

I first noticed this in 0.9.4;  It happens to me in the 0.9.5 build as well.

On my system (Windows 2000 running Build 2001101117), I am able to enter text 
into the search box, but clicking OK does nothing.  This appears to occur on 
every page; I cannot search for text within pages.

This is a dup of 106489. The text you type is there, it's just not rendering.
