132577 - when typing an object will briefly be redrawn in the wrong place

From Bugzilla Helper:

This page has an svg imbedded at the top. Then under that a div is floated to
the left which contains a form and another svg below that. As elements of the
form are typed in (or buttons clicked) the lower svg will render moved up into
the upper image. It is just a flicker and can be most easily observed while
typing steadily.

The svg's are being rendedered by version 2 of adobe's plugin, but since they
are rendering over top of the form which is not controlled by the plugin it is
unlikely that it is a plugin error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type in the login box


Actual Results:  The button list flickers over the login box and part of the
title image.

Expected Results:  The button list should stay where it was originally.

Also, there is a input:focus color style that is applied to the buttons, but not
to the text boxes.

Also, the border for the text areas is rendered using the color style unless an
explicit border-color style is specified. To the best of my knowledge the
border-color style is the only one that is supposed to affect the border color.

Looks like this is due to the reflows when we type...

reporter (Will), the page cannot be accessed (log-in required). Can you attach
the testcase here?

I think we can now close this 8 years old bug.
