Title: Internet Explorer 8 problems
Post by: Rhyso on 07 July 2009, 15:40
just installed this this morning on my works PC (yes i do work, sometimes!) and even since then i've had a problem

it happens when i'm replying to a thread - not creating new posts.

i click 'quote' and the text is displayed as usual in the reply box - the problem happens if that quote pretty much fills the text box and i start typing underneath.  As soon as i start typing my reply the screen starts jumping up and down literally after every key press making it difficult to see what i've typed

anyone else get this problem?? is it a silly setting in IE8??

Hope i've explained it ok  - bit trickey to visualise unless you're sat in front of the screen  :undecided:

yeah probably but i just don't see why it should be causing a problem by upgrading to a new version.  For example typing this gives me a headache as the screen is constantly jumping!!  :angry:

There should be a 'compatibility view' button between the address bar and the refresh button on IE8. Just click that and it should solve your problems, I'm on IE8 and having no problems.

Hope that helps
