After I visit

http://www.typingtest.com/test/default.asp

and start the typing test all characters typed in (for instance) the location bar appear twice. Seems to be related to bug 332579

I'm using this build:

http://jackassofalltrades.com/tmp/firefox-1503-332579v7.dmg

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.typingtest.com/test/default.asp
2. Start the test
3. Type in the location bar

Actual Results:  
Everything typed appears twice. I.e. 'http' becomes 'hhttttpp'
Sorry, I mean:

http://jackassofalltrades.com/tmp/firefox-1503-332579v8.dmg

copy/pasted the wrong link. This is a problem with any Java applet (or so it seems). Just tried another page with an applet and this results in the same behaviour. I'm using the normal (not extended) US keyboard layout.

Mark; great work on the improved Event handling! Firefox uses a LOT less CPU now, it always annoyed the hell out of me when Firefox would use up to 20% of CPU while not doing anything. Not sure if I'm supposed to CC you like this?
This is another problem caused by dispatching NS_KEY_PRESS events from two locations, just like bug 337199.  Only dispatching them from the TSM handler (one of my suggestions in bug 337199) would fix this.

Bart, you're absolutely supposed to Cc me - that's the quickest way to make sure the bug gets where it needs to go!
