Text boxes in instructable pictures change shape and position.


Every time I open my new instructable (high end greenhouse) for some minor editing, or viewing comments, I notice textboxes have moved, sometimes even outside the pictures.

Editing puts them into shape, but next time they are back in the wrong place. This can make the instructable somewhat confusing and makes it look sloppy.

Anyone had the same problem, solutions?

It is happening to me, too. On the last picture of this step: http://www.instructables.com/id/Magic-Edible-Harry-Potter-Wands/step4/Decoration/

On all the other pictures it seems to work fine. It makes no difference, whether I try to edit the box in Win7 or Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx) both with latest firefox versions. Even deleting the box an remaking it didn't help.

Could you edit the text above to include your browser version and operating system? Because the text boxes are handled via JavaScript, they can be extremely sensitive to which JS version is installed on your system, and how compliant or non-compliant your browser is.

It would also be useful for you to provide a link to a specific I'ble where you see the problem.
