TinyMCE and IE Scrolling Issues

[dwinfield]

I'm using Alfresco 3.2 Community however I started to experience this with Alfresco 3.0

My problem has to deal with any sort of editing of content in Internet Explorer.  Using TinyMCE 3.2, if a user is halfway down the page, at seemingly random points, the cursor jumps to the top of the screen.  This scrollbar that's moving is not the one for the whole screen, but for the one in TinyMCE.  I've been able to reproduce it pretty consistently, and it's when the mouse leaves the textbox area that this happens.  You can see the horizontal scrollbar grabbing focus (it changes color to illustrate this) and then it moving to the top of the screen.

This does not happen in Firefox or Chrome (haven't tested on Safari).  Unfortunately my bosses use IE, and won't get away with it.  (At least they've stopped using IE6). 

Has anyone else experienced this, does anyone have any suggestions?  If I could figure out to create a video to link to SHOW the behavior, I would.

I can see this happening, but not sure what to suggest. As far as I'm aware, there are not page-level mouse move or click handlers on those pages that would activate that behaviour.

Thanks for the info, if I could ssl file upload to work in Firefox (there are reports that if you don't use a self signed cert it will work), I would tell them to just stop using IE, but with them having to use IE for file upload and then Firefox for editing, it's a harder sell.

If anyone else is having this problem, what I did was load up the springload autoresizer plugin (it did a better job at resizing).  Unfortunately I then had to go in to a bunch of pages and add that as a plugin, and remove other autoresizer code.
