In any of the text entry areas in the bug report page (advanced view).

This is more noticeable when there are more instances of Firefox running.
But note that typing in the text editor works just fine, so it suggests that it 
is not a system problem.

The launchpad text areas will, drop letters as you type them, so it's not even 
keeping an eye on the keyboard as it is being used.
Interestingly, if I type with the left hand, and keep the mouse cursor over the 
text area (with right hand), then it is possible to type with a noticeable 
decrease in the number of letters that get dropped.

This adds to the probable cause problem being "focus".

Also when a letter gets dropped, I have to move the cursor into the text
area , and re-click to gain focus, then move the cursor to the correct
position to carry on.

It's almost as if the polling for key presses, is dependent on whether
the mouse cursor is over the text area, or somewhere else.
