Cursor dissappears when typing into message window

[Ray.R]

As the title says.

It used to happen frequently about a year ago.  It happened again this week on a new PC running WIndows 7 Pro 32 bits. Browser was Firefox 4.0

I can still type, but do not see the location of the cursor. It makes it difficult to know where the cursor is located.  The only way to know is to type a character.

Can't blame my vision this time 😉

I had this happen to me once recently, when I was using VPN from home (which can cause funny behavior for me). Does this happen always, or it is intermittent?  If you resize the editor window, does anything happen?

Thanks,

Laura

Lately, it only happened that once. 

I have been away from the forum with the occasional visit.  So my stats may be skewed...

I did not try to resize the window.  In the past, it would occur over & over again, which was annoying. 

This time was a single event.  Even with multiple Tabs (threads) opened simultaneously.  I always have multiple threads open 🙂

I have also seen this from time to time recently. Same OS and browser as Ray.R.

Thanks, I've reported this issue.

Thanks Laura

Just wanted to mention that it happened again yesterday morning near 11:00AM (Eastern).

I've seen this happen a few times as well in the last day or so.  Just a quick pause and the cursor disappearing.  Possibly a slight shift in the screen.  I hadn't seen it do this in quite awhile before.

I haven't pay enough attention to notice the slight shift in the screen.  I'll pay attention to it.

I thought I'd post in case others would have noticed it as well, yesterday.  And it might indicate something in particular.

Now that you posted, I'm glad I did...  🙂

Thanks for the update. There is supposed to be a small upgrade on the horizon for us, so the hope is the issue will go away. I guess we'll see. I hope that this is not happening every time you post. For me it's only happened occasionally.
