Bug reproduced under Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1. I wasn't able to use the arrow keys in the
textfield beside the « Remember search » button. I closed the tab and opened it
again, then I was able to use the arrow keys and copy & paste.

I was about to post a similar bug report but found this one. However I can't
find a way to reproduce this bug all the time. It seems it's related to tabs,
you can't use the arrow keys nor copy & paste, but if you close the tab, open a
new window or tab... It works again, but sometimes it doesn't.

I think this recent bug report is related to bug 220900. Shouldn't this bug
marked as a duplicate of bug 220900 ?

This is indeed a dupe of Bug 220900, but the information posted here is very
useful - it provides a reliable steps to reproduce the problem. I'll move these
instructions to the other bug and close this one as a dupe.

Thanks a lot for reporting this,

Prog.
