Not a major thing, just annoying.

Repro steps:


1) reply wih quotes to any forum thread.
2) Type in: This is a test for AW Admin
3) Double-click on the word "test"
4) Type: joke - as in trying to replace the word test as you type joke
5) Nothing. The word remains selected but there is no replacement.

Workaround:

Use the BACKSPACE key (DELETE is not working).

Bug confirmed on: Chrome / Kubuntu 17.10 (KDE Plasma 5.10.5)

Google Chrome / Windows 10 -- looks okay so far
Firefox Quantum 58.0 on Kubuntu / Windows 10 - looks fine

Microsoft Edge / Windows 10 Home + Creator's - looks fine but the window contents scrolls up and down as I type which may be another issue altogether. Growing the reply window fixes the problem.

There's nothing I can do about it. It's a known Chrome bug having to do with AJAX.

This isn't an AW specific bug; this is a browser bug.
