GENIUS FORUMS

Whenever I open a reply window, it only behaves until I have to start scrolling it.

It should scroll itself when my entry exceeds the window size, yet it doesn't, and my typing remains out of view. What I write does get entered into the Reply window, but I have to manually scroll down to see it. And if I attempt to make a correction, the window jumps back to the top, so that I cannot see what I am correcting. Then I have to move the cursor over to the scroll bar to scroll down, but when I move it back to the text, the window jumps again.

I can use an external BB Code editor, but they do not have spell check, and I use Ispell on the HTML reply window.

Anything entered beyond the bottom of the Reply window is a pain to work with. Could I be missing some setting or another? Anyone else having this issue?

Yes, I have that problem. After one's typed message fills the available text editor space on the screen, then for every key stroke, the page centred in the text editor jumps a line, or tries to.

If I have a long post, I usually compose it in Notepad or Kate/KWrite.

I think this is probably something for Kevin to look into. I'll ask him.

I have the same issue but thought it must be my system.

I'll update the forum software to the latest version and see if that fixes the problem.

I think that's fixed it?

Yes, fixed! Thank you, Kevin.
