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

Title:
  Firefox stops accepting characters while typing

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
