The field for typing the URL's randomly and so far unreproducably will not
accept new typed URL's. Backspace won't delete and no further letters can be added.
Closing Mozilla and restarting it, will solve the problem.

David, try reproducing the problem using a new Mozilla user profile.

Duplicate of bug 90337.

Comment 3

[David]

This is not quite the same as 90337, with me, the addressbar won't accept
anything, not just enter but all keys.
I had this before, then I had to reinstall OS X and mozilla too, and I have the
same problem again.

Ok, I just had it again, it seems to happen after minimizing to the dock. When
reopened, I couldn't write anything in the comments field here. Clicking on
links worked though and after loading a page, the problem is gone.

Comment 5

[Greg K.]

It sounds like David is describing a problem putting text in widgets other than
the URL Bar.

Comment 6

[David]

no, I mean the URL bar, the one where you write "http://bla.com"

Comment 7

[Greg K.]

David, you mentioned you "couldn't write anything in the comments field" in your
Comment #4. Did you mean the URL Bar?

Comment 8

[David]

Ok, this time very detailed:
I can't write anything in the URL bar (the one where you write http://www.foo.com)
I can't write anything in the comment field on this site (the field with
"Additional comments" written over it)

Comment 9

[Greg K.]

So, David, you're saying you do the following:

1. Launch Mozilla
2. Open a Navigator (browser) window
3. Minimize that window to the Dock
4. Recall that window from the Dock

After doing this, you cannot type into any text field in Mozilla, URL Bar or
otherwise?

Comment 10

[David]

that's it! :)

Comment 11

[Greg K.]

Well, I could *kind* of reproduce this. I:

1. Launched Mozilla
2. Accessed [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/] which focused the cursor in the text
field
3. Typed some characters, which showed up in the field
4. Minimized the window to the dock
5. Recalled the window from the dock
6. Continued typing characters, which *didn't* show up in the field

Even after clicking in the field again the typed characters still wouldn't show up.

*However*, I clicked in the URL Bar and was able to type successfully again
there. Are you not able to do that, David?
