Hello,

I built the latest Mozilla 1.1 from the ports today and it
still doesn't solve my problem.  So allow me to ask it on
this list if any other people have the same problem and/or
have solved it.

My problem is this: any popup dialogue box with a text input
field (such as preferences or find-in-this-page box) does
not accept text input. Buttons and check boxes work fine.
Text input on the main window (the URL box and text fields
in the actual web pages) work fine.

To be more preciese, I can actually type into the text box
if I put the focus on a check box or a button and then move
around the focus using TAB keys.  But even then the I-beam
cursor doesn't appear, and I have to just guess where my
cursor is to put the characters in the right place.

This I can live with ;-) The hard part is the "Find in This
Page" (Ctrl-F) dialogue.  I can type my search word by the
method I described above, but even then the "Find" button is
still disabled, which means, of course, I cannot start the
search.

Anyone with the same problem? Is it a known problem? Any hints?

I am running FreeBSD 4.6-stable as of yesterday. and my
moziila is this:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386;en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020831

I've had this problem from the first time I tried mozilla;
since FreeBSD 4.5 days with pre-1.0 mozilla.

Thanks.
