From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: I discovered a really weird mozilla-issue. The first time I use the keyboard after launch mozilla hangs, and stays like that for 3-5 minutes. After the hang it works fine again. If I used the mouse only I didn't have this problem. I asked some of the nice people in #mozilla @ irc.mozilla.org and they said this was because type-as-you-find uses sound, and sound is enabled at first keystroke. Going to prefrences and disabling _all_ find-as-you-type options fixed the problem. Just disabling the sound didn't do the trick. For your information I use ALSA drivers from freshrpms for sound, gnome as my desktop enviroment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Tested with 1.4.1 and 1.5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch mozilla 2. Press a key
Yeah, it wants to use sound and will block if another app happens to be using it. Should be using esd, or the equiv.
