In the form for a reply to a post on the forum and this form also! the cirsor
does not accurately follow the text input.
The back space delete key on my iBook will run over the  English text to be
deleted, leaving it visable at times It then becomes impossible to accurately
correct mistakes in the text input. This does not happen with the latest version
of Firefox or the latest nightly Mozilla build. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reply to a post on the forum
2. Input any English text.
3. Try to edit your own input, or correct a type input mistake.

Actual Results:  
The text is visible but the cursor is not at the point of actual input, random
location. Just now the cursor is covering the last letter I type!

Expected Results:  
Cursor should be over the actual text input location

I have to confirm that I have seen this issue on my work station at home using a
custom build yesterday.

But after dl-ing the nightly usedd by the reporter I can nno longer repro on my
iBook.

We need some people to grab the build and test again.

Please update, if not done so in a reasonable time frame I will close this bug
as I have not been able to reproduce this in any of the more recent nightly builds.

Closing for the above reason.
