From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12-20 i686; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000428
BuildID:    2000042809

Clicking on the page outside any controls binds the spacebar to page down.  This
is good.  Clicking back inside a text control causes space to be entered into
the control, but also continues to page-down.  This is bad.	

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Browse to URL
2.Type text with spaces into search
3.Note that space enters spaces and doesn't scroll page
4.Click on page to right of search.
5.Press space and note that page-down happens
6.Click back in end of search text
7.type text with spaces in it
8.note that spaces appear in text and that page-down also happens.


Actual Results:  As per "note" entrys in reproduction steps	

Expected Results:  page-down should not happen after clicking back in search
text field.	

I'm also seeing this problem sometimes when I click in other controls.
