Just started happening (last night):

I’m in Sultantheme mode and the cursor will not highlight. In Straight Dope 3.7.3., it works fine. Anyone else had/have this problem?

…huh. I thought that was just me. I went to respond to a post, tried to copy and paste, it wouldn’t work, I shook my fist with anger at the screen, didn’t post. (Which in retrospect, was a good thing. 🙂 ) Using Sultantheme, chrome. Can’t be bothered checking the other theme 🙂
