This has been happening to me for sometime in both jaunty and karmic so firefox 3 and 3.5. It only happens when coming back to the desktop after the screensaver has been running but then again not every time so I can't make it happen. I can't type in the address bar at all. I type one letter and it is immediately selected so that when you type another it is overwritten. I have compiz running, Nvidia graphics card. 64-bit.If I switch to another desktop (ctrl-alt-right) and back again(ctrl-alt-left) then I can type normally. As I said this has been happening on and off for at least 6 months and though I get the impression it is compiz related I've never seen it happen in any other app than firefox.
