Posting Typing Annoyance.
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?

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

Re: Posting Typing Annoyance.
I'm guessing its something on your end; maybe a browser issue.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

Re: Posting Typing Annoyance.
I've seen it, both in IE and chrome. I now prepare my longer posts in notepad.

Re: Posting Typing Annoyance.
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.

Re: Posting Typing Annoyance.
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.
