Bug: Invisible cursor jumping erratically.

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

What is broken: I was trying to write a new thread, and the cursor was acting strange. First, there was no visible cursor, but words showed up when I started typing. Then, I clicked back to edit a few lines up, and it wouldn't go there, it kept typing at the end of my words. I tried about ten times. Then I tried to select it and delete it, and it selected, but wouldn't delete. However, it did let me delete a letter at a time, back, and I rewrote it.  then I tried to hit enter and create a break, but it created the break 4 lines up (the second from the top). I tried deleteing the break and trying again, and that didn't help. It did the same thing. Then I started typeing, and the words appeared at the begining of the document. Oddly, I'm not having any of these issues posting this new thread here in questions and suggustions.

 

Where was I (include URL)?: http://www.mothering.com/community/forum.php?action=newpost&posttype=newthread&fullpageid=347  In post a new thread, under pets.

Browser Version/Operating System: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)

How many times? I've seen this problem a couple times before.

Date? I'm not sure. Definitely not more than a month ago that I first saw it, though it really was an issue today.

Steps to Reproduce (please list each step you took, even if it seems unrelated or obvious, put it in a list like this):

I went to mothering.com.

I logged into my account using the buttons at the top.

I clicked on forums at the bar at the top. I clicked on Pets.

I clicked start a new thread.

I tried to click on the box to get a cursor to appear.

I started typing without the cursor, and got my errors.

 Expected: I expected to be able to post normally.

Screenshot: sorry, forgot to take one.

The cursor issue is a known glitch in Firefox. To help with this, use the BB Code editor, which I hope will help fix the problem for you.
