*It does not happen if OOPP disabled on Windows build.
*It happens regardless of the enable/disable of hardware accelerator.
*It does not happen on Linux build.

Ho hum. This should block.

This is not just our UI textfields like search and address, any in-content text forms are broken as well.  This is a pretty serious regression and seems worse than the bug whose fix caused this. If we don't have a quick and safe fix, should we back out the BBC iPlayer fullscreen fix?

I've been looking at this and don't see a simple fix I can land this weekend. So I think I'll back it for now.

Not sure if it's related or not, but I also get this behaviour when viewing PDFs (Adobe Reader X). That predates the checkin of the iPlayer patch.

I cannot reproduce any more after backed out bug 628872.
