[orca-list] odd issues in focus mode with seamonkey

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi all
This has been going on for a while, but I've just now found an easy way
to reproduce this. The issue is that when orca enters a text field
automatically when navigating to it in seamonkey, after the first
character is entered, orca will not announce the second one entered and
will then switch over to browse mode. However, orca doesn't announce
this so you still think you're in focus mode, and you'll get bounced
around the page as orca treats your text as structural nav commands.
Steps to reproduce. Go to http://www.bookshare.org. Type in a query in
the search field. You will get two characters in and then will have to
press orca+a to get back into focus mode to finish the search. Note that
this is not limited to bookshare. Most, but not all, form fields will do
this. Examples include baard (braille and audio reading download)
website, bookshare, and wikipedia. Google, for some reason, doesn't.
That is a very weird search field. Orca says it's a combo box, but it
seems to be a strange combination of a combo box and a text field. This
happens with both orca master and stable. Can anyone else confirm this
strange issue in seamonkey? I know storm reported this a few weeks ago
but got no response. This seems to be limited to seamonkey, firefox
doesn't suffer from this issue.
Thanks
