I seem to be experiencing some issues with text entry in the editor when posting text within various vB forums. For no reason that I can quickly identify, sometimes the cursor jumps down to a new line when I have only typed half way across the width of the current line in the forum editor... very strange.

I have to use delete/backspace a few times to remove the line break and spaces. This happens not on all threads... just a few... and I can't seem to find anything common that would help identify what the casue is.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create enew post on a forum
2.start typing
3.watch as cursor drops to a new line randomly




No additional line-breaks should be inserted in the text entry.
