Comment 78 for bug 677551

Not sure if this is related but the textarea on the web page that is displayed when clicking the Minefield "Feedback" button (Firefox Input?) is also very slow to type characters from the first to last characters regardless of line feeds.

I guess it is possible that the 'characters remaining' code is slowing this down however I've seen similar code run substantially faster (though never at the same speed as normal typing, *sigh*).

Hope this feedback is not just noise.
