Pls reassign if incorrect

1. Install and launch today's linux commercial build.
2. Open menu Edit->Preferences->Navigator
3. Point and click the mouse in the textfield titled 'Location' under the 'Home 
   Page' pane.
4. Observe that the mouse click does not work and the home page cannot be 
edited.

it seems i cannot edit quite a few of the prefs, not just the homepage textfield
--seems that checkboxes, textfields and radiobuttons are affected. non-radio
buttons seem to work (View Cookies, Change Page) and droplists, though.

* Navigator: unable to select the radio button for "Navigator starts with..."
* Navigator > Smart Browsing, Internet Search: unable to edit/change the prefs
* Instant Messenger (all panes): ditto
* Composer (all panes): ditto
* Software Installation: ditto
* Advanced (all panes): ditto
...etc...

occurs on all platforms, upgrading severity.

addenda:

* Mail & News panes: unable to modify settings for radio
buttons/checkboxes/textfields
* Appearance panes: sometimes able/unable to change radio
buttons/checkboxes/textfields

am gonna see what happens if i (1) start with a clean profile or (2) trash my
localstore.rdf for an existing one...

nope, doesn't matter if i use a new profile, or trash the localstore.rdf for an
existing one.

also noticed that i cannot enter text into some of the textfields or change
radio buttons on forms, eg, any bugzilla report page. is this related to this
bug, or bug 31198?
