Hi All,

I can't write posts using Google Chrome (14.0.835.186) on my Mac. When you type, nothing happens. I can cmd+v and paste content in however. Sure it's just a browser bug, but perhaps worth looking into? No problems on Firefox (from which I'm posting), but a bit annoying as I much prefer Chrome.

Best Wishes

Chrome (still) has numerous issues with form processing.

Just yesterday, my OH tried to renew her tax disc online using chrome, and it failed.

A while back, a colleague managed to get a credit card blocked because Chrome was stuck in a loop, repeatedly posting the info.

The issues with POST and Chrome go back a couple of years now, and as yet Google seemed to have failed spectacularly at making it work universally.

Use Opera or IE.

Ironically, you only need to Google for these issues, and you'll see what I mean.

Shame, and fair enough. For everything else I by far prefer Chrome. I'm a web developer and have never run into problems using Chrome with my own work as far as I can remember.

Are you using adblock, perchance?

Was having the same issue here; and disabling ad-block fixed it.
