[Firefox 1.5 Beta 1]

Ocassionally, when I attempt to type into a text input form field, the Firefox
Fid toolbar appears and my typing is entered there (rather than the form field).

For example search boxes on both:
http://pcworld.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

This only happens ocassionally.Unsure how to reproduce but happens frequently.



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Click on text input field on web page form. Start typing.

Actual Results:  
Find toolbar appears and typed text appears there (rather than in text input field).

Expected Results:  
Typed text should appear in text input field on web page.

Difficult for me to judge as the discussion for bug #307375 is a bit technical.
The symptoms sound very similar however, I have not performed any of the steps
suggested at the start of bug #307375 to replicate the bug. I simply find that
visiting some webpages, I am ocassionally unable to enter text into a text input.

I have since discovered that if I switch to a different application (other than
Firefox) then switch back (to Firefox) the problem has disappeared - i.e I am
now able to enter text normally, without the Find toolbar appearing.

It is often a problem in forums and can be extremely irritating.
