The various editors that are currently in place for writing messages answers, etc, are driving me crazy. Moving the mouse outside the edit field causes the text to scroll to the top of the message being type. Please put it back to the way it was and stop hholding our hands while we type. I know you guys are trying to make the site better, but this crap is really starting to PISS ME OFF. It's almost IMPOSSIBLE to type a message.
I liken the automatic paste detection to that MS Word abomination, "Clippy".

I have tried and tried and cannot for the life of me replicate what you are seeing. Walk me through it, please. My understanding is
In IE7 or 8:
- you type a message that's more than 1 line, and, say, more than 1 page. The mouse is at the bottom of the text
- you move the mouse outside the message edit box (and click elsewhere on the form our outside the browser window?) and the text box scrolls so that you are now viewing the first line. Is the cursor also being moved?
This is a bug or it's an issue with your setup. I can be nasty and vindictive, but even this is beyond my evil schemes. I'll work to make life less unpleasant.

I tried to duplicate it, but couldn't. I know I'm not crazy though.

You're not crazy, at least in this regard. I was experiencing the same thing for a while when in IE9. Doesn't seem to happen now though.

I've had this in IE9 on Win 7. I pasted a code block in Q&A, then selecting one the pre-tag variants (c#/c++ etc) and the pre tags ended up at the start of the text. It doesn't happen each time (though it has happened more than once), to be honest I thought I'd clicked the mouse button by mistake, leaving the cursor at the top of the text box. The text box had several lines in it(my reply to c# related query and problem regarding functions in classes[^] in fact) if that helps you replicate the problem.

I think some of this is browser specific weirdness. I can't replicate your scroll to the top problem at all in FF5. But after any paste triggering the popup my cursor ends up at the bottom of the edit field.
Wierdly when I was pasting "test\r\n" to test this the popup did not appear if I was pasting to a blank line, but did when I was pasting to the end of an existing line of text.

In my Rep history, I'm getting download points for files I didn't download, and when I click on the file that was downloaded, it takes me to a Q/A answer I posted.
The files it shows as being downloaded are:
cwaveform.zip
cwavebox_demo.zip
showwaveform.zip
waveedittest.zip
mmwaveeditx.zip
wavecontrol_demo.zip
And the answer it takes me to when I click on any of them is:
How to prevent decompiling the exe file?[^]
I think some of the files are from this article (that I had never even visited until today while investigating this problem):
MMWaveEditX - Advanced Wave File Editor Control[^]
---------------
As I was typing this, the links started to go to the articles the files actually belonged to, but that doesn't address the fact that I have been eroneously credited with downloading them.

Is this were JSOPs rep points are going to mysteriously drop 200K because the points aren't his, and screw up his plans for CP domination over CG?

I think I caught it early enough that the damage from THAT will be minimal. 
However, I did just lose 64 points in the Soapbox by a platinum debator downvoting as many of my posts as he could in the SEAL Team 6 thread.

I very rarely down vote anybody, (other than the obvious trolls, crap questions, etc.) so it wasn't me! It won't take you long to recover them.

Make it -80. That's the sort of paranoid drivel I'd've expected out of CSS or Ilidiot.

It's now up to 11 1-votes... -176 points and counting - and I haven't even been testy with anyone in that thread.

Maybe its pre-market trading on the NASQAQ, your rep points are following the market trend

You can make a story with them.

And yet, the messages do get posted.
Reported this Google[^].
Not your problem, and this is beta software, but thought you might like to know. This has not happened with previous Canary betas.
Aside: are all of the three phrases: "crashes consistently," "crashes reliably," "repeatable fatal error," ... oxymorons ?

Since this only occurs with a beta product my first inclination is to leave it instead of working around it to ensure the devs working on Canary have an extra piece of data they can use to test any fixes they may implement.
