    help! reply box keeps scrolling when i dont want it to

    when i'm typing a really long message, and the text goes below the bottom of the reply box, its not normally a problem because you can just scroll down.

    however, now whenever that happens my computer automatically scrolls up so that the line i am typing is cut off by the bottom of the reply box. whenever i start typing it scrolls down automatically to the line i am typing on, but then shoots straight back up again so i cant see what i'm typing again.

    you can probably work out that when i type fast, th whole reply box yo-yo's up and down really quickly. it was kinda funny to start with in an i'm bored sort of way, but now its REALLY annoying me, so if anyone knows how to sort it out that would be great. thanks

    *edit*
    control + F box is officially not the solution

    i know this sounds weird, but i noticed it when i had the 'find' toolbar up (Control + F), and it went away when i got rid of it, so try bringing that toolbar up then closing it again

    *edit*
    ok, control + F doesnt work, because the problem is back again

    Mine used to do it... Now it doesnt... sometimes. Its very annoying and completely random it seems. It got to a point where I just type in microsoft word then copy past from there.

    It was probably to do with the compatibility list. Microsoft send out page compatibility updates from time to time so thats probably why it went away.
    If you are using IE8 and the page is not functioning properly (like Trials forum webchat) hit the broken page icon in the address bar to activate compatibility view and it should fix it.
