User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

Sometimes when entering a URL in the address bar, the caret switches from entering left to right to entering right to left.  Usually one or two characters are entered left to right followed by the remaining characters right to left, with the insertion point staying at between the LTR and RTL sections.  So, for example, entering google.com into the address bar may result in go|moc.elgo, where | is the location of the cursor.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type an address into the location bar (i.e., google.com)

Actual Results:  
Location bar reads, for example, go|moc.elgo, where | is the location of the cursor.

Expected Results:  
Location bar should read google.com
