No Field update in Firefox (e.g. XForms Hello example)

We are currently evaluating an XForms interpreter for easily creating forms and make them accessible for most of popular browsers. Orbeon looks very interesting to us.
Unfortunately Orbeon seems to have a problem (in Firefox 3.x) with events when exiting fields:
In e.g. the "XForms Hello" example nothing happens when I type in a value into the input field. In IE 6 it works fine, so I see the output below.
We tried Orbeon 3.6, 3.7beta and 3.7 nightly build (20090606), none of them works.
Is this a known issue?
Is there a work-around?
When will it be fixed?
Thanks in advance

It doesn't sound like a known issue. Could you tell us more precisely what you are doing in the XForms Controls example? What field are you changing, and where do you expect to see a modification in the UI?

Hi Alex

I have uploaded my XForms-File.

When I enter/select a date in "Startdatum" or "Enddatum" input field, the corresponding output-field should be updated. And the Fields "Wert1"/"Wert2" are multiplied and the result inserted to the "Resultat" output field.
This works fine in IE6.0, but not in Firefox3.0.6.
When I submit the data from Firefox they arrive on the target system. As well Orbeon complains when I enter a non-number in Wert1/Wert2, so the problem may be updating the field.

Currently I use Version 3.6.0.200712061930

Cheers
Roland

I tried this on Firefox and IE6, and it seems to work fine in both cases. Here is what I see on Firefox:

The problem is found.
As I am on Debian, I used almost ;-) firefox; what means iceweasel.
In Iceweasel 3.0.6 it does not work but it does on firefox.
Thanks

That's a good find! What version of Firefox did you Firefox did you use? Was it also 3.0.6? My expectation is that Iceweasel == Firefox, other than the name and the logo.
