Could you try again with a newer build?
What version of Java are yuo running?

I just tryed it with 1.1 (non-beta) and it fails there.  I tryed to use 1.2beta
a week ago and it was so buggy that I uninstalled it.  It was unusable for me.
I know I should report the bugs but my main use of it is at work and I don't
have time to make so many reports.  I need something that mostly works.  I'm
willing to and have made bug reports on the few 1.1beta problems I've run
into.

If I can find time I'll make a separate installation of 1.2beta and try it there.

Java version is 1.3.1_02.

I reinstalled Mozilla 1.2b and retryed this bug.  It may be a little
harder to reproduce with 1.1b and 1.1, but not much.  I was able to reproduce
it 3 times in about 5 minutes.  Same procedure as specified originally.

OS is Windows 2000 SP2.

Doug, could you please try again with a new nightly build.

Also, it maybe worth trying to upgrade your JRE.  I believe 1.4.1 is the most
recent.
