while in firefox if i use arrow keys in text fields, it acts very oddly. starting at the beginning of the line it works fine for a few characters and then jumps to the end of the line. backarrow jumps backwards from the end of line to within a few chars of the beginning. anyone else seeing this?

I tried saving my book marks and wiping out the .mozall/firefox director, but no improvement. I remember a similar problem in the past with Firefox, I''m damned if I can remember what fixed it. I don;t have this problem on FC3 or Gentoo, for what that is worth. -- Collins

Please note that there was no component to be selected with any rational meaning, so I entered it as "Missing Component." -- Collins
