This happens occasionally to me.

Most common with gmail subject line in a new email, and the google
search bar at the top right.  It's a little reminiscent of a "bug" on a
banking website I used to use.  I would load it up, the entry bar would
become visible, I'd type most of the number during which time the rest
of the page would load and suddenly clear the typing I'd done.

In gmail, when I'm writing a subject line and this starts, I basically
have to alternate between a letter of the subject line and the right
arrow (which moves the cursor to the end and de-selects the highlighted
text).

I have this on two separate lap tops, both of which had 9.10, and were
then upgraded to 10.04 (about a week before the release in both cases).
The problem only started with 10.04, as far as I can tell.
