Default Hard to edit a post

Lately, when I've tried to edit a post, I click on "edit" the editing window comes on screen, but when I click on the post where I want to make the correction/addition, I can't get the cursor to come on screen.

I just edited a post a few minutes ago, and it took nearly 35-40 seconds of clicking on the mouse, before I could get the cursor to appear, so I could make the correction. This has been happening to me for about 2 weeks now.

Anybody else having this issue?

Despite the cursor not appearing, was you able to actually edit by guessing where the cursor was and edit as normal?

Firefox or IE?

No, I didn't try that, as I was afraid I'd lose the entire post. What would happen, quite frequently, is an entire sentence would go into "blue highlight"....


IE........

I've had exactly the same issue intermittently - just started about 3-4 weeks ago (Windows 7, IE9).

Same here, our forum does not like IE9
