1) The anonying remedy:
Minimise or shade the window that is not responding to text input and then unminimise / unshade that window. You should now be able to insert text.
2) The 'Okay so far' remedy:
Upgrade Mozilla. I am now running testing + the Gnome 2.2 backport for woody (which includes Mozilla 1..2.1). I have been using this newer version of mozilla for about a week and have filled in many forms and typed in many URLs.
If you want to upgrade to Gnome 2.2 (very worthwhile in my opinion) then check out Debian Planet ( http://www.debianplanet.com/ ) for the latest details of mirrors for these debs.
Hope this helps a little. Johnny.
I'm having an irritating problem with Mozilla. After what appears to
be a random length of time (often very short, eg, after one entry), it
stops accepting typing in, for example, the address box, or in a
google text input area. I have to kill that instance and start
another to get it to accept typed input. Clicking on links still
works normally. Does anyone have any ideas?
I've thought that perhaps I'd remove a config file and let it reconfigure, but I don't see any obvious rc files - 'locate mozillarc' only gives /etc/mozilla/mozillarc, which has only one line. Nothing obvious pops out from my ~/.mozilla directory - there's a binary file in there called appreg, and two folders - /fonts, and /<my_logon_name>; the latter only has the rather mysteriously named folder /b3nzixf2.slt, which has lots of stuff relating to bookmarks, cookies, etc, but nothing seems to stand out as possibly corrupted. Nothing I've looked for in Google has turned up any clues, so I'm turning to the list...
I'm running testing, kernel 2.4.20, X 4.2.1 with an Athlon XP1500+, 512 MB RAM and an nVidia GeForce2/MX-400 64MB video card. I have been bitten by the AMD-AGP issue, but this seems to be pretty much under control with the 2.4.20 kernel (it was a problem through 2.4.18).
Please hold suggestions that I use a different browser; I know that (and I've used various), but I would like to get this Mozilla problem fixed because I like its many features (popups, cookie and login management, eg).
Thanks for any ideas...
