User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1+)

I cannot click on the form the cursor does not appear. You need a NY Times
account to see the page ( I think). 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get a subscription to NY TImes (if you don't have one)
2.Go to http://www.nytimes.com/books/home
3. Try searching for a book name, click on the search box. 

Actual Results:  Cursor or text did not appear

Expected Results:  Cursor or text should appear

I want to change the fact that this always happens. I just opened
another browser window and does not happen there. So you might want to mark
this "worksforme" if it works for you.

I see this too with 062004 mozilla win32 build on win2k.  We have several others
that are very similar to this. Over to HTML Forms.

Marcio, is this a duplicate of the ones you've been looking into?

Agreed, probably a dup of:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75080

In the first type, the caret in positioned to the top of the form.

Interesting... this case also have problems with Netscape 6.01/M.6

Note: You can select the text. After typing something like [something] in the
form field... select the area over the [  Home  ] button. The text is there!!
