ABP & Curser Problem- Linux Related?

Sasafrass452 · Post by **Sasafrass452** » Sun May 06, 2007 2:47 pm

When I try to post messages at Delphiforums.com, I lose the curser. I have AdBlock Plus set to block ads from burstnet.com which seems to be causing the problem. Also, I'm using an html editor at Delphiforums via greasemonkey. The html editor gives me a choice to view my message as either "WYSIWYG" or "source". By default, "WYSIWYG" is selected & that's where the curser disappears. If I choose "source", the curser reappears. Delphiforums.com also allows forum owners to enable or disable html. The problem occurs at html enabled forums. You could assume it's a problem with the html editor, but its creator told me they've found nothing that could cause this. So, that's why I'm posting about it here. Any ideas? I hope this can be fixed soon! BTW, I use Ubuntu.

Have you tried it without using the Greasemonkey script? I know that those can cause lots of problems. Just a thought, I'm not saying the script creator is wrong, but it's still good to try it yourself.

Yes, I tried without the script & the curser is there. This only started happening last month, so I'm under the impression that the latest version of ABP is the root of the problem.

This issue sounds like even reproducing it will be very hard. I filed bug 17001 so this doesn't get forgotten.

Actually, it's not hard to reproduce at all. Thanx for filing the bug report.

I meant: "hard to reproduce on my own computer"

Oh, sorry. My bad.... Anyway, I think this may be a Linux related issue, but if you're willing, sign up at http://forums.delphiforums.com & go to http://forums.delphiforums.com/gofirefox to install the html editor. Make sure you have Greasemonkey installed beforehand.... Then add http://www.burstnet.com/* to your AdBlock Plus filters, & go to my thread regarding this issue at http://forums.delphiforums.com/gofirefo ... msg=2275.1 . Then click on the reply button & see if the curser is there. As I said, I believe this could be a Linux related issue. I hope it can be fixed!
