Okay, I did on this reply, too. > Can you have them try again today? I upgradedhttp://sagenb.orglast night. > It's possible this fixes the problem. It did not fix the problem. I have about 20 students now who report this problem.

Hopefully not... Further data: Most of the students with the problem were using Firefox 3.0, so I asked a few to upgrade and retry. They upgraded to the latest, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/ 20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) and it still has the same problem. Another student tried Firefox, Chrome, and IE, and got the same behavior in all browsers! This suggests there's definitely something OS-specific going on, as opposed to anything with the browser. > I just tried the notebook in Chrome, IE, and Firefox on Windows XP > (which is what I have), and unfortunately couldn't replicate the > problem.

Oh. This was my first guess regarding it being something at the OS level, that TinyMCE used Java, and they had an old Jave installation or something. I'll take a look on the TinyMCE support area and see if they have any information to offer, then report back here. If anyone else sees this same behavior and tracks down the reason, please let me know! Thanks.
