I reported your issue (2009-10-12 ) and it got a high priority (P1) and severity (major). I'm sorry that I didn't had the time to fix this issue already. Since it has a high priority it will be one of the bugs which will be addressed first.

Since the problem is reproducable I think the bug is fixable. > I need an html editor, but I am going to have to wait.

Yes, you're absolutely right at this point. It's even worse, since every browser has its own issues with HTML editing, so developing a HTML editor is a actually a hard job. cheers, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
