When I type int he reply box and make a mistake I sometimes use the arrow keys to insert characters when i missed them and generally edit the post into some sort of acceptable sense but now for some reason the arrow keys don't move the cursor instead they move the page up or down left or right this means I have to use the mouse for simply moving the cursor 1 space to the left or right which is unintuitive.
Why is this and am I the only one this happens to?
Win 7 64 bit
Firefox 9.0

It only seems to happen when using the "quick reply" If I go to full reply by clicking advanced it seems to work.

The only thing I can think of (and this is brutally obvious) is to make sure you have the text box selected. If you don't, the arrow keys will control the scroll bar.

I have the same problem. I can't use the arrow keys. I have to click where I want to type... Or, if I DO use an arrow key, like left or right (which do work... just up and down) then I can't type anymore without clicking... Really annoying.
GLAKHALKHJFLKJASDLFJD... I'm sorry, I'm trying to post something but the damned box keeps jumping around following that damned ad in the background, which also covers what I'm typing... Gah... Don't know what the hell is wrong with this forum lately, but it's annoying..
Agreed. OF COURSE we have the text window selected, at least when it LETS me. If the ad is being feisty, the reply box runs away from me. Originally Posted by gangsta_795
