Title: Text window strange acting?
Post by: retrolefty on Jan 27, 2011, 12:30 am
When I respond to a posting and perhaps embedded a quote window, my added text starts to
fill the text window and when it gets to the bottom it starts to just and show text as I type characters.
If the line continues below the existing text window size, it jumps back to the original text that fills
the window. So as I continue typing the new text keeps jumping in and out of view. Does that
make sense? and is there anyway I can just let the start of the text scroll up out of the top of text window
so I can see what I'm typing at the bottom of the text window?

I've seen this on other forums as well, for example the Soc of Robots which is also SMF.

With Vista and IE8 I don't see it here though.

Just tried hitting the compatiblity button on MS IE8 (right next to the address bar) and
that seems to fix it.

Thanks
