User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

Sometimes when I enter text into a field or a form
my chars are appended left to the cursor, that means I type 
hasyn for example and on the screen I see
nysah because the text is placed left to the cursor. This happens only sometimes.
I wouldn't know how to reproduce this reliably.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Well the text should always placed on the right side of the cursor,
at least in Europe and the US :)

that's actually generally dictated by the form itself.  If you can provide an
example of a page that this happens on, please do so and reopen the bug, but
this has never happened outside of a page that's set to do it.

I expierince te same issue. Even while typing this form. This also happens by
typing the url into the address field.
