Hmm... Interesting. Knowing that it doesn't happen on your MacBook Pro rules out a lot of common causes. I must have some unusual software installed or some unusual operating system or application preference selected. I have seen at least three other users with the problem in the Apple support forums.
An interesting addition was that while I was submitting the bug report to Apple I realised that the problem also occurs for me in Safari text areas. :-) Thanks for going above and beyond to reproduce the problem, Ronni.
