These are the fields labeled "customers", "products", etc, at the top of the
page?  I can see a cursor in those with a 1.8a4 build on Windows 98....

Comment 3

[Garth Koyle]

No.  The fields you want to test it on is 
the "SKU", "Name", "Weight", "Cost", "Price", etc.  Try those ones.

This bug could use a minimal testcase to narrow down the exact problem, but
chances are it's a variant of bug 167801 (because the DOM inspector highlighting
also breaks).  That bug describes a possible workaround for such problems which
may be worth looking into for the web app in question...

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yep, that testcase has the exact problem described in bug 167801 comment 5, as
far as I can tell.  Marking dependent for now pending roc checking it out, though.
