Hi folks, been a while since I've last looked at the state of text input with
WebKit...

First off, tell me whether the Spell Catcher preference (Interactive pane,
Typing tab) to "Make replacements directly (without backspacing) where
possible" is selected (for Safari if you have it in the Applications drawer) or
not.

This preference exists specifically to work-around bug 4681.

Figuring out exactly what's wrong depends largely on whether this preference is
selected. It may also be nice to know what happens when you change that
preference...
