WorksForMe using Mac/2001112011.

Fredrik, be sure you click in the area you want to type into. If that doesn't
work, switch away from Mozilla to another application, then switch back.

Reducing Severity to Normal.

Tried to click in the area I want to type in. Also tried to switch application 
and then return to Mozilla. Still same thing. No response from my keyboard. Not 
even CMD + Q works. I've got an Apple Adjustable Keyboard - maybe that's what 
causing it?

[Greg K.]

Fredrik, try a newer nightly build, and/or a new Mozilla user profile.

Comment 5

[Fredrik Muskos]

Greg, Thanks for the input! I've been trying everything. Thrashed all prefs and 
the previous install. Tried Build 2001121004: same problem... I'll keep trying 
with other builds, though. I'm not giving up on this one!

Comment 6

[Fredrik Muskos]

Tried build: 2001121011 - got error message on install. 'Disk Space available: -
598700KB'.

Fredrik, do you have mail&news launched with browser (at least on os startup)?

Comment 8

[Fredrik Muskos]

No, nothing is launched at OS startup. I haven't come as far as opening the mail 
& news in the browser yet. I'll keep trying with new builds!

Comment 9

[Fredrik Muskos]

Finally, Mozilla 0.9.7, 2001122106 works fine! I'm gonna stick to this version
for a while now.
