I haven't seen that type of problem, I'm running Win XP SP3 and Firefox ver 10.
For me the symbol in that box can be highlighted or not, depending on whether you just pulled up a chart from a Fav list or entered a new symbol or changed some setting on the chart.
If the symbol is highlighted, means my cursor is already there and I can just type in a new symbol which will overwrite the existing. If that symbol is not highlighted I have to move my cursor their and highlight it, delete the old symbol or highlight and just type over.
Now if the symbol is not highlighted and I just put my cursor behind the old symbol and start typing, yes it will just add more text to the existing symbol text and this will result in a bad symbol if I not paying attention.
If this doesn't seem to work for you, let us know what OS and browser type & ver you are using, perhaps someone can duplicate your problem.
