Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
When I fill an input field in a web form, Firefox stops accepting further keystrokes after a couple of characters. The same happens in the URL address line. I have to re-click on the input field with the mouse, and then I can continue typing.
While this seems to mean that the input field has lost focus, the cursor is still there.
It doesn't happen with Textarea field, only with one-line input fields.
I use Natty + Unity.

This problem probably has something to do with auto-completion. It causes the input to hang. It's still a problem with FF7.
