I've noticed that when you're typing a post in the "body" box that is long enough to have escaped the normal parameters of the box and necessitate a scroll bar, something peculiar happens whilst highlighting said "body".

If you highlight the full body and, keeping your index finger firm on the the button, holding down all the while, continue to drag rightwards a bit of black magic occurs. The left margin of about an eighth of an inch on the page from the banner down, and the hot topic column leftwards disappears.

This is not a big deal as it does not affect the writing process much because it does not envelope the typing area, but, I have noticed that sometimes it does do this. It will go over to about an inch to an inch and a half of the page. Though right now I can only seem to get it to go more than the blue bars.

I will post pictures to better illustrate, excuse all the tabs of soccer cleats, I'm looking for new ones and do not wish to close them.

Step 1: Have a post with a scroll bar.

Step 2: Highlight all of the text that fits in the portion currently in the "body" box. Your cursor should be somewhere around the area of that green circle. The purple bars indicate the area that will disappear once we're done.(ignore the lightsaber, I was bored)

Step 3: While still holding down the button on your mouse, drag your cursor over to where the green circle is and you will see that the whole page shifts.

Step 4: To right the situation, keep your mouse down and drag to the right until all is normal (the green text says "Complain about Armor Lock")

This happens to me quite a lot when I want to highlight a large chunk (usually at the end) of a post I'm making. I click and drag all the way, I don't stop neatly at the end so this happens. Like I said, it's not a big deal but its not aesthetically pleasing for it to do this and it just may be something to look at for the next site update.

Thank you! :)

P.S. I managed to get it to take up the whole "body" box. May just need a really big scroll bar to make it happen, anyway: Here.

I think I understand what you're saying, but I couldn't do it :/

Its not a bug, the little lines at the bottom right of the text box allow you to change the size of the text box (shrink/expand) once you click and drag.

EDIT: Oh didn't read carefully enough. I think it has something to do with the CSS of the page. That would be a bug.

Could be something to do with the fact that you may not be using chrome like I am (like, it could be browser specific). If you're using chrome, then, idk. You're lucky I guess. :)

Attempt to recreate the issue in another browser. If it doesn't work, it's your browser that's causing the issue,

Doesn't happen in IE so I guess it is chrome but:

A) I refuse to use IE.

B) It's still annoying and lots of people use Chrome.
