blank text box

Recently I found twice this problem, and the second time was minutes ago. The problem is that, I wrote a post, hit preview, the preview was fine, but the text box was empty. If I click create button, then an empty post will be created.

Don't know whether it is a problem with the site. Difficult to say, as I use Opera, it is great, but sometime it is weird.

I didn't pay attention the first time, but it happened twice, so I thought just report it...(Sort of remember that the title text box is always fine)

When that happens, what does the HTML source look like? IS there anything between the TEXTAREA tags?	[reply]

I've also had this a couple of times recently. I also use Opera. It used to happen quite often maybe a year or so ago. Then it stopped happening. And now it has started again.

This just happened again. hitting the back button and then preview again and it sorted utself out, though I don;t think that this is always the case. What should be the contents of the edit box appears outside and after it when displayed. However, saving the HTML of the screwed up page to disk and then viewing that in the browser and it formats perfectly. Seems to be a 'timing' thing. Probably means it's time to upgrade to a newer version of Opera, but I just don't like what they did to it in the transition from 6.x to 7.0. Anyway, here is the HTML source of the errent page for your analysis, but it seems it's a bug in opera rather than anything that PM is doing wrong. Read more...
