Stupid Cursor

Recently, with seemingly no trigger or start time, my computer has seemed to have enabled the cursor you see when you type in a text box. The little blinking line. See it? NO. ****. YOU DON'T. Exactly my point.

And it's screwing up with my page scrolling in web browsers. I have a tendency to use the directional keys to scroll through webpages, so now, for some reason, my screen is constantly pushed to the top or bottom because that stupid cursor (that should only appear when typing in a text box) keeps f*cking jumping to the bottom or top of the webpage or to some stupid line of text. BULLSH*T!

Help me remove it. I'd give you minerals if it were enabled.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Does your mouse work normal on desktop or in other programs like notepad?
If not, maybe your mouse is broken... test it on another computer (e.g. friend's one).

Kinda sounds like a weird accessibility option. It auto-selects text boxes and scrolls to them basically?



None.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Tools->Options->Advanced->General->Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages.

Uncheck that.

Eh. I think that answer was almost win.
Uncheck "search for text when i start typing" instead. It sounds exactly like what would happen if that is checked.
I think actually checking that option would always make cursor keys scroll the page, which is what he wants, no?
Or just uncheck all accessibility options. All mine are.



None.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating
