Invisible cursor when replying to a message with html editor (Firefox)

[JohnDoh]

Using FF3.6.11 when replying to a message using the HTML editor as default the focus is in the editor and typing appears in the correct place but the cursor is invisible. Delaying the focus by just a short while seems to solve the issue. Also there is a similar issue when you have the sig above the quote, without a short delay the cursor is placed at the start of the last line of the sig, not at the top of the box.

tbh i found it trickey to repoduce too but then when i connected over a slower connection it became much clearer. i think its something to do with the page loading slower and so not being quiet ready when the JS tries to set the focus, making it wait just half a second seems to get around this.

I have seen this problem, it happens more often when nothing was cached but I am also on a slower connection (1.5mb/sec).

fix bug that caused focus to jump to editor when composing new message

[alec]

I've found this is Firefox-only issue. The problem is in the moment when editor scripts are downloaded (they are not in browser's cache). I don't like to do this with setTimeout() because this produces visible delay. Also 500ms will be most likely not sufficient for every usecase (connection speed).

[alec]

Better that setTimeout() would be $(window).load(), but this requires some changes in identity change function.

[JohnDoh]

the problem still exists in ff4, do you have any suggestions what needs to change in change_identity? I can't figure that out

I can't reproduce the issue with FF 8
