| This sounds like an issue with your choice of Window Manager under X.

I have seen this twice recently on Debian (unstable) with Mozilla 1.5.
I thought it had to do with Thunderbird. However, now I am thinking it
had to do with GNUCash. When ever I would enter things in GNUCash
registers then go to enter a url/form data in mozilla it wouldnt let me
type just as you explain. I am using Metacity as a window manager. It
doesn't appear to be a window manager issue.

I need to do concrete testing (get it to repeat on demand) then I will
file a bug against mozilla in Debian.
