150896 - URL field does not accept input

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 82534

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Justin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

Occassionaly while using the tabbed browsing feature, the URL field (address)
will stop accepting user input. The cursor cannot be placed there, you can't
type a new URL, nor can you copy/paste a URL there. This seems to happen on a
variety of sites, I can't narrow it down to a specific URL, however, it does
seem to occur when accessing sites that use java applets on the page.  When the
error occurs, you can still click on the hyperlinks on each page, which continue
to work. Flash and animated gifs continue to animate, etc. (the browser is still
running) Once the error occurs, the only way to "fix" the URL field is to
restart the browser. 

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
Can't consistently reproduce at this time. 

Expected Results:  Mozilla should continue accepting input in the URL (address)
field. 

Running java applets appears to increase the likelihood of this error occuring.
