Problem with typing
« on: March 01, 2010, 18:21:29 »
Hi,
I seem to have a problem that when I am typing out a post, I can only ever type so far, and the typing box keeps jumping up to the top every time I press a key so that I can't see what I am doing (thus why I have been posting in so many sections)

Is this an actual problem or something that happens normally, only that it is really annoying that I can't get everything that I want to say on one post :(

It happens to me all the time... so I assume it is normal.
You can continue typing, but you wont be able to see what you write.
After you are done typing out a sentance scroll down with the little scroller and check for mistakes.
Then repeat.
It can get a little annoying, but working around it is not so hard.

I've never experienced this myself, but I can see how it would be very annoying for you.

Are you working within a window smaller than maximum page size? Maybe maximising the window will solve it.

HI

This glitch is less than a month old. I have been seeing it happen on my Mac. Yes it is very annoying.

I thought it was just me!  I am glad to know I am in good company with this problem.   :wave:  It only occurs for me when the length of the post (including any quotes) takes me past the size of the message box in the reply window.

I have been wondering if it is a browser issue as I recently downloaded the latest version of Internet Explorer.  I have just tried coming to PF via Firefox and it doesn't seem to be a problem there, so maybe it is, indeed, an issue with Internet Explorer.   ???

We have just recently downloaded the new internet explorer (8 I think) so that could well be the problem as I remember it used to be fine and I have the exact same syptoms as you Indianna.

I haven't had this happen when I've been typing, but Junior has and we use the same computer  :hmm:

I am totally baffled - I presume we have internet Explorer but how do I know what I come to PF via? and how would I get Firefox?
