Is anyone else having trouble placing the cursor on Fluther when answering a question?

Asked by ANef_is_Enuf (26839points) April 4th, 2011

For a couple of weeks now, I notice that if I try to place my cursor at the end of a line of text, it won’t go. It will go to the beginning. This is only happening Fluther, and it happens on both of the computers that I use.
Also, if I try to highlight text, I have to drag the cursor backwards – as if I were copying something in Hebrew. Did I adjust my settings somewhere or is this something other people have noticed? What’s going on?

I’m not having either of those problems here and I use Firefox 4.0.

I have similar problems but it is on other sites too. I use Firefox 4 and OS X 1.6.7

It happens to me sometimes, and not just on Fluther. I’m also using FF4.

Yep, happens to me all the time. I’ve only noticed it using Chromium (open source version of Chrome) on Linux, though, and figured it was unique to me. But I see now that it also happens with Chrome 10 on Windows 7, also.

I have been using Chrome, maybe that has something to do with it, because I am not having this problem on other sites.

I run Fire Fox and have edited 3 q’s so far up down and sideways with no problems. Maybe a virus??

I’m guessing it has to do with Chrome/Chromium and the way it handles the text editing box.

Especially since I’m using Chromium 11 on Linux and not seeing the problem now.
So… Chrome 10 issue?

I jumped over to Firefox and it isn’t doing it. Must be Chrome.

Firefox for the win!

Yes, I’ve noticed this since I’ve been using Chrome. Firefox is fine. It’s pretty annoying, wonder if there is a fix to this?
