265001 - Text typed into a textarea field is backwards while a Java applet is loading

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 269973

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Thomas Rutter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041018 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041018 Firefox/1.0

While a Java applet is loading in another tab, any text typed into a textarea
field is backwards.  For example, if I type "Thanks for contacting us" it will
be entered as "su gnitcatnoc rof sknahT".  The problem seems to go away when the
Java applet has loaded.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page containing a textarea (such as this one).
2. In a second tab, open second tab with a page containing a Java applet.
3. Quickly while the Java applet on the other tab is still loading, type into a
textarea field

Actual Results:  
Text is entered backwards

Expected Results:  
Text is entered forwards

I can reproduce this bug, by attempting to type into a textarea (search bar,
google bar, URL location) when an applet is loading (with Firefox 1.0).  This
bug appears to be a duplicate with 234729, 260772, and 269973, so I'll leave it
up to the devs to decide which to dupe and which to leave open.
