Article editor crashes in IE when I'm scrolling using the scrollbar attached to the editor, not the page.
This has been a problem for some time - and it's rather annoying.

Which version?
Unfortunately we can't do a lot to fix IE's issues. We use IE11/Chrome/Firefox/Safari and Opera internally and haven't experienced this issue so I can't even really investigate it.
All I can suggest is upgrade or use a different browser. Not much help, though, am I.
cheers

Hmmm.
I'm running exactly the same and can't replicate the issue.
Any add-ins installed?

Nothing special, the only things that are enabled:
Goolge Toolbar
Lync Browser Helper
Office Document Cache Helper
Lync add-on
Send to OneNote
OneNote linked notes
Java Plug-In SSV Helper
Java Plug-In 2 SSV Helper
Pretty usual stuff I believe ...

I have none. Hmmm.
If you're bored it might be interesting to disable them one by one and test.

I'll try using Amaya[^] ... it seems they've stopped further development of Amaya ... so I'll just try using Chrome then ...

I would start with removing the Java plugins. I have bad personal experience with them.

Just like Chris, I checked with the same version and also back to IE10-9-8. Also checked on the 'new' Spartan engine, but didn't got any crash...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

We've confirmed the issue our end. We'll make some tweaks.

As often as it happens, we have to start asking why it happens so frequently.
First, the instructions at the top of the page are pedantically vague. The text reads as if it's okay to post questions right where they are. Maybe the instructions should be worded in such a way as to make it totally clear that they shouldn't post programming questions where they are at the time. Maybe some text accompanied by a button ...
Second, if they haven't posted more than 10 questions to the lounge, maybe they should be presented with a modal dialog box that reiterates the fact that they should not post programming questions to the lounge. After 10 posts to the lounge, (and for a set period of days after registering on the site), the lounge notice would no longer appear.
This would still let them participate, but would remind them for a certain period of time of the one rule they need to observe.

Perhaps we should have a Report items that you could report it to move the post as well to Quick Question?

Well, IMHO the reporting system is kinda wonky. Currently, if someone responds to a message before it's removed, the thread stays behind (with the text of the original message removed). To me, that's unsettling and pointlessly clutters the Lounge.
I think the verbage of the text at the top of the page as well as limited repeated reinforcement of the idea is the best approach.

I thought the admin could move the whole discussion to SoapBox (which might also be a report thing), I don't remember seeing anything og the thread then?
|
|
|
|

But why involve the admin until it's absolutely necessary?

I think you misunderstand, if they can move everything, it must be possible to write a program that could do it with reports.

Let's fix them then. What would you suggest?

Well, fixing text quickly obviously seems to break your grammar skills:
"Technical discussions are encouraged, but click here to ask your programming question"
Cheers!

I just came here to say that.
I hate bad grammar. Not that I am a master at it myself, though.
