Bug description:
  Lubuntu hirsute daily QA-test install, two boxes
  - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
  - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

  ** To re-create

  Start an install, get to the "user setup" entry fields where you enter
  "name, username, hostname, password.."

  Enter values.. I noticed this on HOSTNAME.

  Going to the hostname field, it was pre-loaded with something from the
  box firmware itself, I tried amending this..

  ** Expected behavior

  Assume the hostname is preloaded with

  "hpcompaqdc7700"

  I move the cursor to the beginning of the field, with intention of
  adding "blah" to the start of it.

  I expect either "blahhpcompaqdc7700" (inserted) or "blahmpaqdc7700"
  (replaced)

  ** Actual behavior

  Instead I get the "bhpcompaqdc7700lah"

  because on entry of the first character "b" of "blah", the cursor
  jumps to the end of the field for the subsequent characters.

  This is occurring anywhere in the field (cursor jumps to the end after
  typing a letter).

  I've NOT noticed this behavior before.  It's annoying only (easily
  worked around)
