Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 258285

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Bryan Mills]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050815 Firefox/1.0+

Usually happens in Bugzilla -- I've only seen it in Deer Park Alpha 2.
I'll be using several Bugzilla tabs and suddenly find myself unable to type any
data into the forms (even when the form is focused properly), _regardless of
tab_, and have to just close the window and open a new one to be able to enter
form data.  Instead of text going into the selected text-area, type-ahead find
engages.

I have accessibility.typeaheadfind set to true in about:config.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set accessibility.typeaheadfind to true
2. Use Bugzilla for a while.  Problem may or may not occur.
