I have been seeing this bug on and off for at least several months, if not a year. It is very intermittent, but when it does happen it is painfully annoying especially because I usually must restart FF completely to resolve the issue.
I have seen this defect on multiple different versions of Ubuntu (9.04, 10.04, 10.10) with different versions of Firefox (but probably all 3.0+) as well as on Windows Vista, all with various add-ons installed. As other users said above, this appears to be a Firefox autofill problem. This is such an annoying defect it makes me seriously consider switching from FF to Chrome permanently (not to mention Chrome is FAR more stable using Flash than Firefox in Ubuntu). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583122 Title: firefox occasionally highlights contents of form fields while typing thereby overwriting previously entered keystrokes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
