User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060313 Fedora/1.5.0.1-9 Firefox/1.5.0.1 pango-text
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060313 Fedora/1.5.0.1-9 Firefox/1.5.0.1 pango-text

When using highlight on a page with a text field / text area, any highlighted words within that text area are not editable - the user cannot even insert a cursor within the word.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any Wikipedia article.
2. Click "edit".
3. Click "preview".
4. Open find, find a word present within the article (and thus the edit text field).
5. Click "highlight". The word found should now be highlighted inside both the preview and the text field.
6. Go to the text field, and try to edit any highlighted word.
Actual Results:  
Highlighted words within a text field are not editable.

Expected Results:  
Highlighted words within a text field should be editable.

Did you also test this with the latest version (installed in a new empty folder) and with a new profile without extensions?
