While typing in a text input field with the form history popup visible (for example, the "Summary" field in Bugzilla), I frequently and apparently randomly see my typed text suddenly replaced by a form history entry. I also sometimes see "undefined" inserted into the form field. Possibly related to bug 919232, though I haven't tested to verify that.

Attached patch patchSplinter Review
Forwarding non-navigation key events to the list was causing it to select items based on the typed letters. This patch limits the proxying to list navigation keys only. Marco: I'd like to add this bug to iteration 21, p=1.
