I notice that when I reply to forum posts and type an apostrophe in things like don't and can't etc I often get taken into the 'find' box - (I'm using Firefox BTW)

As you can see it doesn't happen all the time, has anyone any idea what I'm doing or is this a 'feature' of the FF?

Yessss ! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> it is a 'feature' of FF

There is a bug report it for it, it seems that under certain circumstances, as yet unidentified, the apostrophe and slash turns on the find feature when it should not. There is a workaround, Tools -&gt; Options -&gt; advanced

Then click in the 'begin finding . . . .' checkbox then click again to clear it, close the tools and it works. Bizarre!
