Weird behavior of AWWW editor?

No, I'm not talking about Grant or Martha.  :)

I'm talking about the visual editor we all use when posting or replying in threads. Seems like for the last few weeks the cursor has been behaving strangely. Like when I reposition it to edit my own writing, the typing doesn't always start where I place the cursor. Sometimes the cursor just disappears. Sometimes it does not respond to the arrow keys. Sometimes when I try to select a word, the wrong group of characters is selected.

This doesn't happen to me on other fora, so it's gotta be something here at AWWW. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

It nearly always happens to me, but it always works on the second try. Weird, huh? I have just begun to make it a habit to take a second look before I start typing.

I should probably have mentioned that I'm running Firefox v33.1 as my browser. All responders should do the same. Grant (or his webmaster) might find that info useful in tracking down the source of this problem.

I'll look into it and see if there's anything to be done. I use the HTML editor myself because the most common visual editors (all open-sourced) have always had something about them that really sucked.
