Bug: Editor has limited scrolling

[mike_2000_17]

Hi,

There is a bug with the editor that I noticed and others noticed too. When you post a very long code segment (or maybe just a long post, period), at some point it seems to overflow the capacity of the editor and you can no longer scroll all the way to the end of the post. The scroller becomes weird and jumps around, but you can never get to actually see the latter end of the post in the editor. You can still edit the content after where the editor stops, and that content still turns up in the final post, but you can't see what you are writing (except through the live preview, which is of course not viable for that purpose).

I experienced this too, pyTony reported it I think. I posted a long code snippet and when I went to edit it I couldn't get past about the 221st line.

Sounds like its related to this thread

I'm experiencing the same problem, I noticed that I cannot scroll over ~210 lines (sometimes 200, sometimes 220), the scrollbar stops but the cursor can go further. I can reproduce the issue just by pasting the result of this script:

<?php
    $a = range(0,300);
    $n = count($a);
    $result = null;

    for($i=0;$i<$n;$i++)
    {
        $result .= $i . "\n";
    }
    file_put_contents('this.log',$result);
?>

This problem occurs to me in Google Chrome, Opera and Firefox. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. Bye!

Hi,

Please post a test case I can easily copy/paste. Thanks!

See how far you can edit that list of number.
