Something's amiss with the JavaScript; disabling JavaScript allows the text entry (but busts other things, of course).  Fx exhibits the same problems, -> Core

Attachment: Testcase

This testcase shows the function which causes the problem. I don't know much about JS so I apologize if this can be reduced further.

See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:event.keyCode and http://www.mozilla.org/editor/key-event-spec.html . The keyCode property of a keypress event is only set for input that doesn't map to a character.
