I’ve just noticed an issue with Google Chrome…

On message boards using phpBB, like the EVE University forums, the text-entry boxes don’t update quite right.  Whitespace seems to pop up randomly here and there…  When text auto-wraps to the next line there’s usually a chunk of blank space at the front, like I accidentally hit tab or something.  And if I drop the cursor into the middle of some text to add or modify something, it appears to be over-writing the existing text when it isn’t actually doing so.

Eventually everything sorts itself out…  After a few moments the text-entry box refreshes and everything looks correct…  And the text is obviously going in there correctly because when I hit ‘submit’ the post looks correct…  But it makes editing a new post a little awkward.

And it doesn’t appear to happen with all text-entry boxes.  I haven’t had any problem writing posts on my blog here, or submitting comments to Slashdot.  Just sites using phpBB.
