This has been happening on my machine for quite a while, I think maybe even before 10.04. Currently I'm on 10.10 with Firefox 3.6.11.
Whatever the problem is you can stop it from happening for a while if you go just go into Edit - Preferences. I currently have it on the "Advanced Tab" just because i was thinking it was part of the spelling features, not sure if it matters. I used to turn spelling on and off but it seems all you have to do is open preferences. Hope that helps. -- firefox occasionally highlights contents of form fields while typing thereby overwriting previously entered keystrokes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
