frustrating occurance when posting???

[catfishkid]

Does anyone else have the problem when typing a post the cursor dissapears seemingly at random so if you arent watching closely enough you type away and then have to go back and type it again,but then if you make a mistake or want to change what you have typed and use the backspace key the cursor again randomly dissapears and then the backspace key acts like you have used the back function on the top left of the screen and all is lost and you have to start again.I often give up and dont post after frustration of typing a considered answer and go to change my wording and all is lost.
the part about cursor dissapearing has occured twice while typing this???

This has been covered a few times. Have a read through teh help section.

Update your browser.

Or use Firefox, it is faster and is not bloatware like IE.

I get the same problem in the latest firefox. Sometimes the text box object does not render correctly either.

Are you using the Quick Reply or the Advanced reply?

I am running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6

Will check to see if it is the latest, but I think it is. Not having any trouble.

Are you on 2000, XP, Vista....?

Heya steve. I am running firefox 3.0.7 on vista. Having the rendering problem right now responding to this thread. I have taken a screen shot.

Had the no cursor issue today. This is defeinatly a bug with the forum and would need dev changes to the code. I am yet to figure out how to replicate it but I am certainly working on it.

Took a screen shot. Was firefox on XP. It was in the advanced mode. The Bold, Italic and Underline were all in mouseover mode (highlighted blue i think ,will post screen shot tomorrow) and clicking on any other object (smilies, or edit icons) failed to take focus from the three controls.

Updated with screen shot. Turns out the three icons are not mousover-ed, the are selected.

I am still having the same problem.

I reply in ' quick reply ' then decide to go " Advance " and the cursor disappears.

I am using Firefox and XP.

But I have adapted and can type without the need for a cursor, I just cursorer the cursor and keep going...

The issues will only arise once in every 10 or more replies. ??
