[Bug 905636]

[marmuta]

Yes, it's not restricted to firefox. It seems to happen in all Gtk-3
text entries that, on typing, pop up helpful lists to choose from. This
became gradually clearer only after I filed this bug report. Firefox is
heavily used though, so it's particularly noticed there.

What I use to tell people is to disable the awesome popup while working
with Onboard. We don't have a better workaround yet, unfortunately.

One thing I tried was, instead of sending fake key strokes, to insert
text directly into the url bar via AT-SPI. However the url entry doesn't
seem to support the editable interface,
atspi_editable_text_insert_text() did nothing (works in e.g. gedit
though).
