If you are trying to search for multi word string, the space bar would cause 
the page to jump down even though the focus is on the textbox.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://groups.google.com/groups?group=rec
2. Try to enter multi word query. (Put focus on the textbox and enter text, 
then press space bar)
3. Notice the page behaviour when pressing spacebar.

Actual Results:  The page jump when pressing spacebar (and a space appear in 
the text where you are typing).

Expected Results:  The page shouldn't jump down.

This doesn't seem to be apperant on other pages, such as this one, frex.

There was a bug on the spacebar causing 'jitters' in page views that described
exactly what is being reported here. It was fixed about a month or two ago, and
a new bug opened on the same problem occuring on every keypress in a text field.

I want to dup this against the fixed bug and ask for an investigation of this
occurance - check if it has regressed. However I can't find the damned bug
report. I was going to cc someone who would know that bug number bug they've
gone on sabbatical... Hrm, I think blizzard and shaver were, cc them.

Bug 35952? I don't think this was the one I was thinking of, but it appears to
be the same problem...

Does the page then bounce back to where it was?  That's bug 73725.
