51150 - Space bar in text field causes page to scroll

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26882

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[cheng]

The following has been observed on linux builds on the last few days, and it's
still present in 2000090121.  It is unfortunately not always reproducible, and I
haven't figured out what causes it.

When you are in a text area (e.g. when entering comments in Bugzilla), pressing
the space bar causes the page to scroll down, and the blinking text cursor would
not scroll with it (so it appears in the middle of text).  As you keep on
typing, a non-space character resets the scrollbar position back to what it was
the correct one).

I have noticed that this usually happens if I have two windows, close one of
them, and then immediately try to type in the text area in the remaining window.
