308584 - begin finding when you begin typing option sometimes doesn't let you into a form field

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 307375

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dixson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Using FF 1.5 beta 1 I recently noticed in some cases that I could not type into
a form field because my "begin finding when you begin typing option" was on.

Normally when this option is on Firefox does not enter "search mode" if you
start typing when you are inside a form field.

However just tonight I was on this very Bugzilla site and was trying to type
into a search form on the advanced search page.  But everything I went to type
it put my text into the bottom bar "search" box.  To continue I had to disable
the begin finding when you begin typing option.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to this site's advanced search options page with begin finding when you
begin typing option ON
2. go to bottom part of the form where it has advanced option boolean charts
3. try typing into one of those form field boxes and see if it puts you into the
search mode.  I cannot reproduce this regularly but have seen it a few times.

Actual Results:  
put me into search mode.

Expected Results:  
entered my typed text directly into the form field.
