I got a similar problem with the latest chrome release, and I found out that I had in my css-reset the following

-webkit-user-select: none; 
-khtml-user-select: none; 
-moz-user-select: none; 
-o-user-select: none; 
user-select: none;

the result was that in chrome i couldn't even input text... in firefox it was possible
