Posting Typing Annoyance.

[RoguePhotonic]

I don't know how to categorize this problem so I can't really search to see if it has already been discussed.

Often when I am typing a long reply and the box begins to scroll down each letter I type will flick the display back up to a previous line of text which is very annoying to see what your typing and more annoying when you try to highlight anything to edit. Is there a reason or fix of this problem?

The only solve that I have come up with is to type your post as word doc and then copy and paste it here.

I'm guessing its something on your end; maybe a browser issue.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

I've seen it, both in IE and chrome. I now prepare my longer posts in notepad.

What browser and version are you guys using

[rlown]

chrome 11 and IE 8 and IE 9.

[RoguePhotonic]

I'm using Internet Explorer 8.

I just tried jamming about 10 pages of copy/paste into a new topic post, and I could not reproduce the problem. I did find a similar problem on phpBB's forum at http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=2122921" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which points to another topic there at http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=2123849" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm thinking if it happens again, we'll just have to try and capture what we were doing at the time and on which post to provide more info.

My guess would have been a browser conflict with the template, but sounds like it might be more than that. At this time, I'm not sure what can really be done about this issue.
