I had a problem similar to what you are describing. It was either
with Nescape 4.5b1 or the Mozilla 5.0 deb package for slink. Either
way, it's beta/unstable software. In general, I had difficulties with
that netscape and input fields, e.g. if I was using Deja News, my
queries would have some of what I wanted, and a bunch of random
garbage would be appended to what I entered.
I trashed both of those Netscapes eventually (4.5b1 and Mozilla 5.0),
and now I'm using Netscape 4.06 compiled for glib2 Linux, works
great (I also used/use the Debian installer/wrapper).
Good luck!
