    This is one that I've noticed over the past year. I've tried different browsers, different computers, tried logging on when I'm out of town, and I still get the same problem. When I'm typing in a code block, the cursor will randomly get reset back to the beginning of the code block. Yes, I've made sure that I didn't accidentally brush the mouse and/or touchpad. I've had several times where I've ended up deleting an entire block of code because the cursor got reset, and changed a selected block of code when I was going to delete it. But the most annoying thing is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to when it will do it. I can walk away for ten minutes and come back to find that it's done nothing, then the moment I hit a key it resets. But I've also had times where it will leave me alone for a minute or so, then the moment I stop it resets. I've already given up on several articles because I wanted to put plenty of example code, but I had to quit before I jabbed my eyes out. If you think it's a problem on my end, please give me some advice on what to do to fix it. But if it's a problem with the site, please fix it because dear God is it irritating!

      I never faced this...

      Beauty cannot be defined by abscissas and ordinates; neither are circles and ellipses created by their geometrical formulas.

        I've only seen this in Firefox. It's on my list. Sorry mate - it is annoying.
