this is almost certainly a bug in your video driver, you might as well attach
the bluescreen report, and please indicate your video driver and version.
lastly, please complain to your video driver's vendor.

I test this on 2 dell workstations with intel graphic card, one I know is an
(Intel 82915G express chipset family), I will send you more details on this
driver and error message as soon as possible.

2 more things:
- I can't reproduce this bug on ie
- It seems that when char become unreadable in the input box (or become
invisble) this will kill my driver

I tried this on my current installation of Windows XP. (nVidia graphic card).
The result is not the same, but it is weird.
When a big amount of data is written on an input box, the characters are not
readable anymore. All characters are white or made "invisible". The only way to
see what is written is to select a part of text.
