I can reproduce this on my Galaxy S II.

mw22, what device were you testing? I suspect this bug might be a dupe of or related to bug 630576.

Tested on the Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.0.2.

I've added a dependancy, bug 630576 sure is related, although I don't know what would happen with this bug when that bug is fixed.

So what is the impact of this bug? Finkle, do you remember why it was marked blocking?

Forgot to mention, click on the search input at the top of the page and you'll see a search overlay. Start typing in that overlay and you'll see letters appearing multiple times.

BM are you using prerelease versions of Firefox for Android (Aurora/Nightly)? Your comment sounds like bug 1133802.

[BM]

@Kevin, I'm using 36.0.1.

Also, duplicate letters is one side effect of this bug I think. The real issue is the input event being fired twice. I checked it with console.log ;)

I found the bug described by BM in 37.0.1 and 38.0 (beta).

Trying to write "abcde" in the search box of any Wikimedia site would display this (successively):
a : a
b : aab
c : aabc
d : aabcabcd
e : aabcabcde

The problem I mentioned above is gone now, with 37.0.1 and current 38.0 beta.
