When i type certain letters multiple times in a XUL textbox (just use the urlbar to test), after a certain time of repetitions the next character is shifted one pixel to the left. For example when typing the letter f ten times, the tenth f is shifted one pixel to the left. Then the letter f is ok again from the 11th to to 24th repetition and then the 25th f is shifted one pixel to the left again. The carret also gets confused and so moves more the right every time a character is shifted to the left. Other affected characters seem to c, l and t (there the number of repetitions is different so). I have the Standard Fonts in my preferences and can reproduce in SeaMonkey and Firefox Cairo builds.

This happens for me on WinXP SP2 and the latest nightly (2006-05-12) as well.
Seems to have been fixed by Bug 340590.
