Bouncy Textboxes in IE - Fix Found
Greetings,
We've had reports, and experienced ourselves, that textboxes in the forums "bounce" when you put alot of text in them when using IE8. Essentially the cursor keeps losing position if you type alot of text in then try to add to it at the bottom.
We've determined that this is a bug in IE8 caused by IE8 not correctly reporting how wide the textbox is to our JavaScript so that we can place the cursor properly for some of the forum functionality.
We've also found a solution. The fix requires a relatively minor change to all of the templates. I will be doing a special release on Monday morning to resolve the issue.
