For two or three updates now, Rich text will overlap itself on each line. I notice this most on Yahoo News. Every single line of text has at least the first two characters of one word that are overlapping the previous word.  

When using Rich text in Gmail, the flashing cursor does not move correctly.  First, it appears to slow down to the point that it is a character behind.  I type one character and it doesn't appear until I type the next.  This gets exacerbated when I try using backspace.

I have not tested with other fonts, only the default for both the browser and in Gmail.  My guess is that these two problems are connected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Gmail
2.Start typing in Rich Text
3.Use the Backspace key
Actual Results:  
The cursor is not located where the text is being deleted. Text is disappearing at least one keystroke late.

Expected Results:  
The visible text should always match what text is actually there.
