getControlText not working in FireFox 2.0?

It seems that myinputbox.getControlText() doesn't always return the control's text in FF 2.0. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn.t.

Is there a workaround?

Possibly this is related to the bug where oninput event does not fire and control text property does not reflect current text in the input box. Could be fixed with

<style>

.aw-gecko .aw-edit-control .aw-item-box {
    overflow: hidden;
}

</style>

Works!

Thanks Alex
