When posting, if I hit "return" and the cursor goes beneath the bottom line of the white box, I can't see it.  When I type, the characters jump a bit while I'm writing (making me rather dizzy) but I can't scroll down and see the line as I type.

Am I making any sense? 

It's leading to quite a few typos in the last legs of my paragraphs, and feels like a glitch of somesort.

I love that the subject line of this topic reads " Trouble with the bottom" on preview.  Nearly as good as "Game time: Free ass".

I have the same thing happen. I've found that I can proofread it all via Preview after I'm done. It's especially bad when using the quote function.

It happens to me, too! I thought it was my computer. Glad I'm not alone. It's a real headache!

I've not had any trouble like this since moving to Firefox. However, you can get IE to work for you by clicking on the icon that looks like a torn piece of paper. That is the Compatibility View.

Hi
The same problem has teased me in the past but at that time it was itself solved later on.

It's like a Pynchon spambot.  Fantastic.
