If I run the program runescape (www.runescape.com), I cant typ normal in an
other window. Things in adress bar like this: ww.gooecmo.lgw. I really typed
www.google.com! If I close the window with runescape the problem is over...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Runescape (I use high quality)
2. When it is started, open an other window
3. Try typing an adress in the adressbar
4. Now you should see its very strange (it's not what you typed)

Actual Results:  
very strange adresses like: ww.gooecmo.lgw. I really typed www.google.com!

Expected Results:  
normal adress

Download a more recent build of Firefox and see if you still have this problem.

I can confirm this bug (I too am playing runescape, so it may not be for all
java applets).

I noticed this after upgrading th the Preview Release version. I can give more
detail: When you type in a seperate tab while runescape is open, sometimes the
typed text appears to the right of the cursor, instead of the left where it
belongs, so your letters get offset by a lot.
