I'm seeing this with netscape 4.72 (libc6 version), 2.2.14 and xserver-svga 3.3.6-6. If I bring up netscape, click on the location box and start to type, it will freeze every time. If I wait a few seconds after clicking on the box, the vertical cursor line will appear in the box and I can type without incident.
