unable to enter timezone city in input field during install

[Carla Sella]

During installation of ARM Ubuntu Raring daily image on a Panda board, when you get to the timezone window, you are not able to input the timezone city in the input field.
You can click on the map to change timezone, but you cannot enter it using the keyboard.
I was testing this image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130113/raring-desktop-armhf+omap4.img, but this problem had occured also on previous Raring image tests, but after reboot and trying the installation again it did not occur.
Seems like it occurs the first time you install, if you reboot to retry to install it does not happen.

This also happened while testing Ubuntu Desktop amd64 ISO: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130113/raring-desktop-amd64.iso.

I do not understand why, but the second time I lauched an install using Ubuntu Desktop amd64 ISO http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130113/raring-desktop-amd64.iso I did not have problems writing the timezone city using the keyboard, so this problem may not always occur.
Up to now I do not understand what triggers the problem.

i am guessing compiz or something similar randomly crashes. i have had this problem since November but couldn't find a way to repeat it so i didn't file the bug.
