270525 - cursor jumps to any of previous three lines at random times while composing mail

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Fleck]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Using TB 0.9 (20041103) under XP SP2 on Dell Notebook, the cursor jumps at
random times to a previous line while composing or replying Email, typically the
third previous line. It typically happens three/four times per Email of ~15 lines.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on "Write"
2. type message, preferably ten, twenty odd lines


Actual Results:  
writing window opens,
typed text appears,
at random moment cursor jumps to previous text location and adds following text
there.

Expected Results:  
Allow me to keep writing whereever I had currently been / intended to add the
next words.

double-checks: similar behavior seems to appear with Firefox on my computer,
however I'm pretty sure it's not me hitting the arrow keys by error or chance.
system: Dell Inspiron 8600, XP SP 2, current Thunderbird and Firefox versions.
I'd be glad to provide any further helpful system details (jump just happened
again in this moment, two lines up this time).

Thanks!
