(Whiteboard: fix in my local build.) 

** Observed with 10/22/99 Win32 build **

This bug occurs only when either Ukrainian or Russian
auto-detection is turned on. It basically disables all
input functionality in location field, Composer, Text Editor,and
Mail Composer. There may be a few places where you can still
input, e.g. URL in Open/Web Location dialog box. But generally
no cursor can be inserted into any text field and keyboard
presses have no effect. Here's how you can reproduce this bug.

1. First auto-detection should be OFF.
2. Now bring up mozilla.exe. Note that the URL field has www.mozilla.org
   URL. When input is working, you'll see this field with an URL in it.
3. Now turn on either Ukrainian or Russian Detector via View | Auto-Detect
   menu.
4. After the page has reloaded quit Mozilla.
5. Now bring up Mozilla again. Note that this time the Location field
   contains no URL though the Mozilla Home page has loaded.
6. Try inputting ASCII characters into the Location field. Nothing
   happens.
7. Open Composer, Editor, or Mail Composer and try inputting
   any character, no input will be possible.

8. Now turn off Auto-Detection and re-start Mozilla.
9. You'll now see the Location field filled with a Home Page
   URL and input is possible in all the areas where you could not
   in steps 6 and 7 above.
