I've had the editor move around lines, insertion point, select text
(ctrl+right-arrow) and copy-paste mess up.

My superstitions for each of these problems:

Moving / splitting lines
* This tends to happen when the editor doesn't like my (wrong) syntax.

Insertion point
* Seems to happen more often when using the mouse to select a cursor
position - generally using the keyboard to navigate gives much more
reliable results.

Select text
* Using ctrl+arrow (left or right) to select words tends to break if
the editor hasn't properly parsed the line - note it may appear to
have correctly selected the appropriate section (or nothing will get
selected) but deleting (or copying) the text will occur on a different
section to that which is shown as selected.
* Examples that screw up:
** @mr_mistake = Us.new( :email => "mr#mistake.com", :counter => 6 )
*** The # inside quotes breaks things. Result nothing is selectable
beyond the #.
** @john = Us.new( :email => "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", :counter => 0 )
*** The @ inside quotes breaks things. Result [EMAIL PROTECTED] appears
selected but only the first "john" gets deleted.
** <div id="body" class="sample_hide" style="<%= has_error ? "" :
"display: none;" %>">
*** The <%= inside quotes breaks things. Result nothing is selectable
beyond the <%=.
* Screws up selecting anything on the line to the right of the
weirdness.
* Essentially any time the syntax highlighting is messed up this issue
will occur.

Copy-paste
* Is effected by the insertion and select text issues.
* Sometimes it appears to copy, cut - but although the action is
performed (cut text gets removed) the text never actually reaches the
system's clipboard - previous clipboard content remains.
* Short-cuts aren't setup for capital letters (this is different to
general behaviour - in windows at least).
** The effect of this is when I hit the caps lock key - cut, copy and
paste short-cut keys appear to stop working.

P.S. I don't have much choice (at the moment) other than editing
online.
