Occassionally while typing a URL into the URL bar, the text gets entered
backwards. For example, if I were to close my eyes and type "www.yahoo.com", I
would find that what was actually entered into the URL bar was "moc.oohay.www". 

I have been unable to reproduce this consistently, however, it does seem to
occur more frequently under the following conditions:

1. open a new blank tab, "A"
2. open another blank tab, "B"
3. switch to tab "A" and start loading a page with a complex java applet
4. switch back to tab "B" and enter some text into the URL bar



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
The text entered appears backward

Expected Results:  
Shown the text correctly

Ever confirmed: true
This still happens in Mozilla 1.4. I've been unable to reproduce it, but when it
happened I also had multiple tabs open and a java applet running.
can confirm this on mozilla 2003082704
This always happens at netbanking.at. The page is not shown, typing order
becomes reversed, with invisible caret, and usually, Mozilla crashes soon.
I see this bug when a signed applet on the page has opened a new connection to
download additional files to the local file system.
I've personally seen this on Windows, but never on Un*x.  The common factor is
that the user is trying to enter text (whether in the URL bar or in a form) in
one tab while another is still rendering.  I will see if I can find a way to
reproduce this consistently.
