Whenever I'm composing a response to a post and quote that post in my response, my display in the composition section keeps bouncing back up to the quoted post instead of staying with my cursor as I type, or at least in the area where I'm typing. No matter how often I scroll back down to where I paused typing and click on that line, the display bounces back up to the quoted post.
Also, if I try to highlight and move text whilst composing a reply to a quoted post, the moved text invariably ends up someplace random up in the quoted post instead of wherever I tried to move it.
I use IE.
Thanks in advance for any help in resolving this.
Just make your text box bigger. There are 3 lines at the bottom right corner drag that to the size of your post, or how big you think it will be and your view will stay with your cursor.

Oh, good - it's not just me being blonde, then! yay.
Raine...? Help...?

Sorry to drag this back up again, and thanks to AmyBoo for the helpful post (which does work for smaller messages), but AB's solution does NOT work when dealing with responses to large quoted posts or lengthier posts in general - can only lengthen the message box so far on my screen!
I'd really appreciate somebody looking into this and see what can be done to keep the display from constantly bouncing back up to the middle or top of the message box, when the last typing point is several lines or even paragraphs beyond the bottom of the message box due either to a large quoted post at the top or the length of the post itself.
Thanks!!!
I saw the same thing today when I was trying to edit a long post in the GE.
If you can bear to be without the graphical editor, try working in html edit instead. When I'm on IE, it only jumps around when I'm in the GE, not when I'm in the html editor.
It's a little alarming when you first see it, but at least the fool thing holds still.
Also, for me at least, this only happens in the GE on IE (Internet Explorer), not on the GE for Firefox, which is weird but interesting.
FF rules!
Thanks for the suggestions, HTSU - I'll try the HTML thingy, see if that helps.
Of course, adhering to my HS English teacher's 'concise diction' admonition that always covered the margins of my papers probably would help, too.
