When creating a post in Opera 9.23 for XP it looks like the word wrap feature is

broken. Typing just continues all the way out of the box in a single line until I hit

the enter key. It's like working with a typewriter again!

When I look at the actual post when done the appearance is the same; the line 

of type continues out of the post box. I don't know if my posts look the same to

other readers, so I'll do a long line here as an example.

This is the long line just to see if it appears to other reader as it does to me. Please respond to let me know if it looks broken to you too. 

It's kind of cool how the line disappears under the box to the right only to

reappear on the other side.

Yes, I have had this same problem with the Opera browser. However, you might want to try the Mozilla FireFox browser or Internet Explorer browser, both of which work much better with this issue.

I know switching browsers may solve the problem, at least for me. But other

Opera users still face the same problem.

 

Is this possible related to the issues some Linux users have reported in their 

browsers? 

 

Meanwhile, I reported the issue to Opera. idon't know what they can do, but

perhaps that will help.

opera and safari do some funky things with javascript and particularly with TinyMCE (which is the text editor we use). hopefully they will fix it! we just can't spend hundreds of hours trying to fiddle with it when we have stuff like LIVE CHESS to work on :)

This is a test of the Opera alpha, v 9.5. This is only a test and if it doesn't work properly perhaps an admin could delete the post.

Yes, it seems to work properly in the alpha. Unless Opera development changes something, this issue is really closed, or at least will be when they release 9.5 for real.

Hey, I'm using firefox and it looks broken to me

The problem seems inconsistent in Opera 9.23. In previous posts today it seemed fixed at first. I was ready to come here and ask if you all changed anything on the site. But then I made another post and the scrolling past the edge of the box was back. Now it's gone again.

So I don't know if anything has really changed, except that the probelm certainly seems inconsistent now.

 that is really odd! the truth is that it is out of our hands - it is up to TinyMCE and Opera to work things out :) sorry!
