281412 - when runescape (dont know if it is all java applets) java applet is running, the cursor skips around while typing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 256763

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[shadow0049]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

at "http://www.runescape.com" when the java applet for the game is running,
typing in any part of the program messes up. the cursor jumps around. this
happens in the address bar, the search bar, typing a name for a bookmark,
anything. it does not happen in IE. It does happen on both of my computers, so I
am almost positive it is either a RuneScape incompatibilty (a small one) with
Firefox, or an overall bug with all java applets in firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.exit the runescape website, typing returns to normal
2.reconnect to the runescape website and run the game
3.try to type somewhere inside firefox while the applet is running, this should
reproduce the typing errors.

Actual Results:  
the cursor jumped around while typing anywhere inside Firefox

Expected Results:  
typing should behave as it does in any other program

if you report a bug with java always add the used JRE Version.
wfm with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de-DE; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050205
and JRE 5.0 Update 1
