what has happened to the first letter in every line when i type a message in the box underneath this line?

it comes out o.k when i post a message but while i'm typing it the first letter goes missing. so i add letters then it comes out double.
is this just me? is my message box just odd?

actually this particular message box doesn't seem to be doing it.

yup noticed this too the other day and kept trying to correct it, but gave up in the end and it was perfectly ok when i posted it weird

TrinityRhino · 11/02/2009 17:15

mine does that soetimes

decided not to complain as I thopught it might sort itself (or rather tech might) out

annoying isn;t it

like the message box isscrolling along but only by one letter lol

Mine does it too - but if you click on the text and move left you can see them all again...

Hello. This does sound odd in an alien-eating kind of way.

Will pass it on to the Techs.

And do let us know if it keeps happening.

I have this, I thought it was mentioned in the new stuff blas]de bla the other day - it was happening before that anyway.

It's like the message shifts sideways while you are writing so your first letter disappears then reappears when you post

It keeps confusing me

claireybrations · 11/02/2009 18:01

Mine does it too, like it is scrolling right but only the first leter of each line

littlerach · 11/02/2009 18:02

Mine does it too.

SlightlyMadScotland · 11/02/2009 18:06

I posted this the other week...but it wasn't noticed

I think it is a text wrapping glitch/box size glitch.

psychomum5 · 11/02/2009 18:08

mine does it a little too, but only when I right big long paragraphs.

in my usual posting style, it doesn;t happen......hence a very good reason for me to post like me!!
