Scrolling in reply box

[Jopo]

When I reach the bottom of the reply box the text does not scroll down. As I type the bottom lines jump up and down with every keystroke like a bloody jack in the box.
I cannot see a setting that may be causing this. Using Win7 and IE 8 - if that might be relevant.
Any ideas?

Not sure what this might be - I use Win7 & Firefox and it seems to work ok.

Anyone else had this problem as well and have a solution?

I also get this. Tis very fustrating, i end up typing all my longer posts in Word and pasting across...

I'm using Win7, IE8, x64.

Me too. Vista, IE8.

Compose big posts elsewhere and past in.

Nice to know I am not alone.

Seems like a forum problem when I thought it was Vista.

Same here

I am running Vista.

I have tried it with the latest versions of Safari, Opera, Firefox, Google Chrome, and with IE5, IE6, IE7, and IE8.

It only fails under IE8.

Solution: use a decent browser.

I am running Vista.

Sorry - that should have read XP.

It's actually a bug in IE8, it's not a problem with SMF.

Best solution - use a better browser.

Other solution - I believe you can turn on "compatibility view" in IE8 which apparently fixes the issue.

Never mind a solution, the work-around is to make the reply window bigger - drag the bottom border down the screen to do this.

Both seem to work.
