[Bug 632903] [NEW] Text input makes Firefox window jump up and down violently

[Michael D. Crawford]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When typing text into a web form, sometimes the typing makes the entire
window jump up and down about an inch.  The jumps seem to correspond
with each keystroke.

It is as if I grabbed the window title bar with the mouse, then moved
the mouse rapidly up and down.  However, it is driven purely by text
entry.

I observed this several times with Ubuntu 10.04.  The bug was fairly
uncommon, so I haven't had time yet to determine whether it persists in
10.10.

This is on a first-generation early 2006 Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo)
MacBook Pro, Model Identifier MacBookPro1,1.

There are so many input bugs in the Ubuntu browsers that I find Ubuntu
completely unusable.
