    Default post editing glitch(s) here?

    It is no real big deal, but I'm having text editing weirdies. Like now, I do not see my text cursor. And I can not go back into the text I've put up to make changes. The invisible cursor goes only one way - add more text. HOWEVER, now that I have just gone into "Preview Post" I do now see the text cursor and the cursor will move back into previous text for editing. Just one of a couple such text editing glitches I think came for me along with the black background (I think ?). I'm using browser Firefox 3.6 and do not have these text editing problems at other web forums. Nothing I can't live with but rather not. Tom

    Can you try a different browser or version? Try a different style? Have you tried clearing temp Internet cache?

    Seems as if clearing Firefox cache fixed it. Thanks.

    I've seen these issues too (latest firefox on linux). Switching to something like advanced seesm to clear it up.

    Roger - yes switching to Go Advanced got around the problem. But now as I type I see the cursor and it behaves like a good little cursor
    Clearing Firefox cache (Firefox 3.6, Tools - Options- Advanced- Offline Storage-Clear Now) seems to have fixed it - for now.

    FWIW, happened again today, around 24 hours later after clearing Firefox cache (which fixed it). Just now, in composing a reply to an image the text cursor was not seen. I went into Firfoxe cache and cleared it. Text cursor came back.

    PS - so I write this then go back to forum to reply to another post and guess what - cursor not there. Oh well, get around to it someday.

    wait - another ps - so I went back to reply and cursor not there. Happened to notice that I had about 8 screens of Firefox open and minimized. So I closed 4 of the open Firefox and cursor came back.
