XP/MSIE 8 cannot be used for editing anymore

[lfm]

Using XP, MSIE 8 is the latest you can run.

Until recently it worked fine(month or so ago).

What happends is:

When there are more lines of text than room on screen - each keyboard entry scrolls edit window up - so current row become invisible.

This happend on every keystroke on lines outside visible area.
And if you manually scroll down again to see what you wrote - next keystroke scrolls up again.

Unusable...

(this I write with an old Firefox).

Thanks.

So you found a work-around, good!
Otherwise I'd suggest to ditch IE and switch to Chrome.

I'm sure Chrome is good for the job - but just feel Google know almost everything about my whereabouts, and don't want to give away the last privacy I have.

My Android phone probably report just about everything to Google as well - being forced to register a Google account and everything.

I tested with a bunch of browsers - and found IE do the least funny stuff regarding connections allover. Microsoft probably dare not due to they are examined quite a bit in Europe and fine them for things all the time. Take TcpViewer and look at all connections established and you'll see.

I ran Maxthon for a while - but saw that an ip-adress established all the time was to something called ChinaCache - is that maybe financed by China to spy on citizens all over using this browser.

Maybe iron instead of chrome?

It's basically Chrome with all the tracking turned off isn't it?

More or less, yes. It's Chromium without all things Google.
