Forum: Reply box skips around once you exceed the displayed amount
« on: January 28, 2011, 01:13:33 pm »
In the forum when I type text that fills this text box, it skips around like the scroll bar is being manipulated. I can't see my text as I type and it doesn't let me see my insertion point. Being a man of such needs, I enjoy seeing my insertion point. It just started happening and I am using a computer at school, but it hasn't happened to me before and it isn't happening on text input boxes for blog replies on other sites. I haven't tried another SMF site but I might just to eliminate that possibility.

Anyone else having this problem?

Certain web browsers do this, like my IE.
Just type long things in word, it doubles as a spell checker.

There's a little thing at the bottom of the text box that you can drag to make it bigger:

Oh wow Urist I didn't notice that. Awesome!

Strangely, now that I'm at home I don't have the problem. Different version of the browser maybe? Oh well, it's not interesting enough or irritating enough to care about.
