modal setting on dialog causes slow input on large pages

[fontzter]

To demonstrate I have pasted code here:  http://pastecode.com/?show=m77813fa1

If you run this code, you will see that the modal flag make typing in a textarea (inside a dialog) very slow when modal is true.

Richard's analysis:

I see what the problem is. The modal plugin is binding key and mouse events to all links and inputs, to cancel them (to enforce the modal). It seems it's doing this even for the inputs in the dialog (as your test case demonstrates). I'm not 100% sure, but I think we could safely filter those out.
