Details

Build 2001-06-26-11, Win98
Plus earlier builds (on Win2k) as well
Steps to reproduce:
Unknown.

Behavior:
When trying to type in an input box, there seems to be no response.  Pressing
other keys seems to ilicit responses, but not as expected.  I've mapped out the
entire keyboard and its responses:

V: Pulls up source of page
B: Goes back 1 page
F: Goes forward 1 page
R: Reloads current page
ENTER/KEYPAD ENTER: Goes back 1 page

No other keys perform any function.  F1-F12, ESC, 0-9, other keypad buttons,
tab, space...only the locks (i.e. caps, scroll, num) work (as they obviously
should.)

Also, I found two JS Error messages, but am only 80% sure they are related:

Error: redeclaration of const kIOServiceProgID
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js
Line: 1

Error: contextMenu has no properties

Reproduceability:
Rare to occasional
Workaround:
Close all browser windows and reopen.  (I meant to close Mozilla altogether but
had a JS console open.  Opening a new browser window via CTRL+1 was enough to
stop the problem)

I've seen this one in the past on Windows...  I couldn't find a dup of it, and
it may not be occuring in recent builds.

Au contraire, aegis.  Check my build date.  I've seen it in a few builds over
the last couple of weeks...
Paul, do you know who should have this?

Alrighty, confirming.

Ever confirmed: true
aaronl, i'm not sure there much in the way of resources in the xp apps group to
work on this. but to be sure, let's see what pchen says. :)
Guys, don't worry, I made this easy for you.  It's the
double-right-click-disables-everything bug# 30841.
