I have often the problem, that i want to typing into form fields, for comments
etc., but the cursor is in the middle of the char (after a few words) or two or
three spaces behind. If you use the "del" or "back" keys, the chars doesn't
disapear, or not complete, so you can see the a half from a char. It seems that
the window would be not "redrawed". The only "workaround" is, to delete all the
text and make no mistake. Or close firefox and reopen firefox with the page and
typing again. I have this problem only under OSX, Win or Lin doesn't have this
problem.

I found a bug, that is similar, but Mozilla's Mail:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256722



I will make a screenshot, if i have it again.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type into form fiels, see what happens


Actual Results:  
Chars (or window) not redrawed.

Expected Results:  
Correct behavior
