This was found at jessicagottlieb.com after expanding a Jolly Green Giant 
advertisement found in the footer of the site

What steps will reproduce the problem?

2. Select a answer from the survey question | Story form displayed after click
3. Start typing | type ahead is initiated even though I'm trying to fill in a 
field. I never pressed /

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Being able to type in the field | Saw type ahead instead

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3.6 on Google Chrome 11.0.696.68 | Windows 7

I don't see any ads anywhere in the page, maybe they are variable. Can you 
provide a direct link or similar?

Do you have ad blocker on? There's an ad on the right sidebar and a large 
footer ad that expands when you hover over it.

Actually, try the page I found the ad on: 
http://jessicagottlieb.com/2011/05/surrounded-by-fools/

However, it's not a lightbox, it's a flash ad.

nope, I tried with a clean chrome, no ads whatsoever. Also with firefox with no 
ad-block, also no ads. screenshots attached.

Hmm... i'll try to duplicate it with other similar things. I've already tried 
it on a plain jane flash form and didn't have an issue.

No clue why that site keeps displaying ads to me but not for you.

I can't duplicate this one on normal flash entries. You can close it. If I can 
figure out some standard duplication steps I'll submit the issue again with 
better steps.

Whoa... hold the phone.

I think i'm onto something.

1. Open two tabs: (1)twitter.com and (2)http://nerdery.com/people
2. Focus on the search by name field in tab 2
2. Activate type ahead in tab 1
3. switch to tab 2
4. press esc to exit out of type ahead
5. Start typing

What happens is that type ahead is still active because of flash's 
keyboard/mouse takeover. I can't exit out of type ahead until I go back to a 
non-flash tab and exit out of it.

the extension disables the search when a flash has the focus, that's why it's 
hard to reproduce (and puzzling why it's failing on the other page)

ok, reopen if you find somewhere else to test.

(you can try to send the HTML of the page, though some ads are JS and won't 
work.)
