Text input focus "jumps" from comment/reply box on Pownce... I think it's SocialThing "scanning" input for possible referral? Or not?
Just so you're aware, I also posted this on Pownce. I'm not sure what the source of the problem is yet. I'm using Firefox 3Beta5 going to disable my add-ins & extensions to see if anything changes.
Here's what I posted on Pownce:
If you use SocialThing: I've been noticing when entering text in Pownce that lately the input focus has been jumping away from the comment box. It also happens--but less so--if I'm entering text in other sites.
What I've just noticed is that the URL http://socialthing.com pops up in the status bar at the bottom of my browser for a brief second when this happens. Apparently, when my activity is being "scanned" to determine whether it should be relayed, the text input is interrupted. It's kind of a pain, because sometimes I'll have typed several additional words before I realize what has happened. I have to re-click on the comment box to restore focus there. Frustrating! So be advised.

Inappropriate?minmax2k, if this is a problem that is happening only on Pownce (that is, on pownce.com, and not on socialthing.com), then it is something unrelated to the fact that you have an account on socialthing.com.
If it is happening on both sites, then it is probably something bug-related in firefox 3. Does this behavior exist in other browsers or just firefox? And also, can you reliably reproduce the problem? If so, what are the steps to reproduce it?
Thanks for your help.
