Found in GWT Release: 1.4 RC1

Detailed description: Rich text is not working on my Fire Fox 2.0.0.1 on
Fedora Core linux. 
The rich text control shows up, but you can not enter text (and selecting
style options in the drop downs does not work either).

Workaround if you have one: Don't use rich text.

 Issue 1126  also reported this vs. FF 2.0.0.3. I may have also seen what may be
something similar on FF 2.0.0.4 on OS X.

(The app, if you want the code, was the GWTNote sample app in the gwt-google-apis
project.)

I've seen intermittent timing issues on RichTextArea initialization on Gecko-based
browsers. It appears that the setTimeout({}, 1) trick is not sufficient to get the
iframe into a good state.

It turned out that all the advice that I could find on the web for initializing
designMode on a dynamic iframe was, well, *wrong*. Everything I've been able to find
suggests using setTimeout({1 | 10 | 100}). When people tell you to 'increase the
timeout and it should work', be afraid. Be very afraid.

In the end, I found a Mozilla-specific solution that uses the iframe's onload event
to set designMode, which appears to be much more reliable (and makes a lot more sense).
