Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Sometimes when I enter text into web forms with Firefox, the entire text field becomes selected. The next keystroke replaces the previously typed and selected text with just that one character.
I observed this many times with 10.04. I just installed 10.10 on 2010-09-07, but haven't had enough time to determine whether it persists.
This is with a first generation early 2006 Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) MacBook Pro, Model Indentifier MacBookPro1,1.
There are so many input bugs in both the Firefox and Chrome browsers that I find Ubuntu completely unusable.
