  Firefox search bar bug -Auto highlight

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

  I have a bug in the search bar to the right of the url bar. that
  highlights the 1st 2 characters typed, and can't type beyond them.

  Using Firefox 3.0.14 on Ubuntu 9.04

  To reproduce:

  have manually changed "browser.urlbar.ClickSelectsAll=True" in
  "about:config" (this is the only setting I have changed)

  
   Happens when:

  1. After my screensaver (AntInspect) has kicked in during any given
  session.

  If I then start to type in the search bar (set to google), after i
  type in 2 characters they automatically highlight, then the 3rd
  character I type removes the highlighted characters, and becomes the
  1st character. So I cannot type in more than 2 characters in the
  search bar.

  To Fix, I have to close Firefox and re-start, but happens again if my
  screensaver comes on.
