If you try to do a search with the quick find tool bar , and enter a word , which has any of the alphabets "g,y,p or j" the display gos for a toss. this is probably because these alphabets go below the base line.

Do you see an underline or dot in the input field?

Im not able to reproduce a single outcome continuously , but able to simulate a wrong outcome each time. In each case the first alphabet has junk value displayed "below" the alphabet this is new in ff3 b3

I can confirm this behavior with Firefox 3 beta 3. The text field shows strange "residue" of previously typed characters. Just type some text into the field and then delete it. Very often, some garbage 2 pixels high will remain. See the attachment.
