Insertion point jumps around while typing in web forms

[Don Quixote de la Mancha]

This occurs in 10.10 as of 2010-09-07 as well as in 10.04.

When typing in a web form in either Firefox or Chrome, the insertion point jumps around during typing. If you don't notice right away, this has the effect that characters start appearing in the middle of some other word in the form.

I've seen this happen in GMail, Slashdot, Facebook and at http://www.kuro5hin.org/

This is with a first-generation early 2006 Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) MacBook Pro, Model Identifier MacBookPro1,1.

There are so many different input bugs in both web browsers that I find Ubuntu completely unusable.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
