Problems entering simplified Chinese text in HTML form; after character is entered, cursor fails to advance, and new characters do not display (though they still show up in search).  I've only been able to find this behavior after certain characters.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load Google.
2. Enter, for example, the search "我叫赵嘉安。” using the ITABC pinyin input method for simplified Chinese.
3. Cursor fails to advance after "赵“.  (”刘“ is the only other character for which I have encountered this, though I haven't tried too hard to find more.) 
Actual Results:  
Cursor does not advance after problem character is typed.  Character shows up, but cursor remains before it, and typing additional characters leads to more problems.

Expected Results:  
Cursor should advance normally.

What keystroke sequence does one need to enter to enter 我叫赵嘉安。 using the ITABC pinyin IME?

Also, have you changed your Chinese font prefs?

What is the version of OS?
Does Firefox of trunk reproduce?

In the future, please add comments here in the bug rather than sending private emails; thanks!

"It's "wo jiao zhao jia an."  I don't think I've changed the Chinese preferences.  However, I rebooted the computer and haven't been able to replicate the bug -- perhaps the problem wasn't with Camino.   
Sorry for the false report if that's the case."

WORKSFORME since the problem seems to have magically disappeared.
