There seems to be an issue with the CSS in use, which leads to two very nasty Usability issues, when writing replies or editing one’s own answers in a thread:
- The cursor is hidden away …
- but worse is: The marking background color is hidden, too!

ps: Interestingly, as soon as I’ve ONCE disabled this rule, even when reenabling it, it does not seem to interfere anymore. Of corpse, that only applies to the current tab, and its also not retained after a reload. So my guess is: Its actually some nasty JS BS … ^^
pps: yet another annoying oversight: ^ _ ^ is converted to - which is NOT the same meaning! It’d be probably but WITHOUT a frown, instead with a ironic smile.
