336889 - Typing text in forms causes page search

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 311376

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Paul Yanchenko]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

Sometimes (not very often) when I starting to fill any text fields in forms, the search on page is started instead. The behaviour is exactly as I didn't focused form input (input-text or textarea), but it is so.

This is related to option General / Accessibility / [ ] Begin finding when you begin typing.

When this bug comes, I can't input anything. Even opening new window doesn't helps. The simplest solution is to close all Firefox windows and start Firefox again. Another solution is to disable and then enable this option ("Begin finding when you begin typing")

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable option General / Accessibility / [ ] Begin finding when you begin typing
2. open page with html form
3. start filling this form

Yeah, this is a known bug. It's probably a duplicate of one of the bugs that is blocking bug 320465.
What is blocking a fix for this issue, is the fact that there isn't a way to 100% reproduce this.
