Thanks for your report, are the visual effects enabled? does it happen without them?

i am able to type when visual effects are not enabled.

Same problem here with the address book lookup applet.

For both the dictionary lookup and the address book applet with (System->Preferences->Appearance) Visual Effects = normal:
- open gedit (or any other app that accepts text input)
- hover over the text input box (mouse pointer changes to 'text input pointer')
- click the input box
- type some text

expected result:
- typed text appears in the input box of the applet

actual result:
- gedit remains focussed
- typed text appears in gedit document

When switching over to Visual Effects = None, it works as expected.
