Typing a reply, yet can't see what your typing
« on: September 09, 2009, 11:26:32 AM »
This doesn't happen while I'm at work, but when I'm on my laptop at home and I'm writing a reply, if I reach the bottom of the typing box, if I'm still typing, I can't see what I'm typing and the lines just keep jumping. Any ideas why?

This happens to me, too.  It also happens on Wikipedia.

I'd loved to know if there's a solution for it, but I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with the site.

This happens to me as well.  It has to be an IE8 thing, because it started happening after I downloaded it.  It's very annoying.

Very bizarre - running both IE8 and Firefox 3.5.3 on Windows XP with no reply box issues (both quick reply and the normal reply)
They can be close at the top, too.

For what it's worth, I'm running Vista.
