Let me see if I understand what you are saying.

When you press the tab key, the cursor moves from one field to another as it 
should.  But after doing such tabbing, if you type a key, a character appears in 
the original field and not the field that currently has the cursor.

Is that a correct interpretation of what you are reporting.  If so, it works 
fine for me using win NT.

worksforme (i.e. contrary to what comment #2 describes) on 2002010303, Win98.
Dieter, please create a new profile (from Mozilla's Profile Manager), then check
if problem persists even on that profile. Besides, you are using a dated build.
To get a more up to date version, uninstall mozilla, delete entire mozilla
program directory (\Program Files), then install a newer build (like 0.9.7 from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.7). Report here the
results. Thank you for using Mozilla!

hey, that works with the new profile seems to be that there's something broken
in the old one, it was created with 0.9.2 I think
