While answering a posting in a forum based on phpbb the cursor is flickering in
the textbox and typing is so slow that it's becoming impossible to write an
answer in Camino.
As example you could try to answer any post in the forum of www.alderac.com/forum
I had this problem in opther phpBB-based-forums as well.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to a forum
2.click on thread
3.click "post reply"
4."post reply" window appears - now you can type in the main text box

Actual Results:  
typing is very slow in the text box and the cursor is flickering

Expected Results:  
a normal blinking cursor and typing-speeds as normal

i had this problem with previous stable-versions, too

I've seen this problem on a number of phpbb boards, their javascript is causing it.

Advice to reporter. Turn off javascript and see how the typing is now.

Turning off Javascript doesn't help - it seems that it even becomes slower...
With the actual nightly build typing is ok as I found out 5 minutes ago, only
the cursor flickers

Checking "Play animated images only once" in the Web Features pane of a recent
nightly will help.
