I've had a problem with typing text in the URL bar. If I type an address into
the address bar a lot of the characters are repeated like... wwww.msnn...com.
instead of www.msn.com.

But this problem appear, when I insert characters in text boxes, teaxt areas or
combobox-es.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run FF browser
2. Try to insert new www addres in URL bar (or some text in text areas)





This problem may depended when Macromedia FlashPlayer 7 plugin was installed

Reporter, have you tried creating a new profile, and/or different fonts?

I tried run FF with new profile (all fiels were deleted and cache, cookies and
other similar files were deleted too), but problem still exist. When I run it
with different font nothing happened, problem still exist and some characters
are repeted in URL bar, edit boxes or text areas.

What happens when you select the text?  Do the characters stay there?  Or do 
they disappear?

And for the fun of it, have you tried a new keyboard?

Yes, these repeted charasters always stay here. I mean, that this problem still
exists when Macromedia Flas plugin is installed....
