It is hard to reproduce. But it is not rare. Combination of of slow internet connection, slow page rendering (due to big page size too much amount of elements) will help to reproduce this. By the way, it very old bug and I come on the same bug on other browsers. Could it be because of the operating system?
(I'll try to reproduce it within few days.)

If it's seen in other browsers it's unlikely not a Firefox problem.

Are you using a laptop with a touch pad? Could you be brushing the pad while typing? I've seen that cause jumps or other unintentional activity.

Nope. This one was on a regular desktop PC. And the bug is very old. I've seen it also while a friend was typing, it goes to the other field, like a magic. It happens while the page is rendering.
