Hi folks,

I hope this isn't too terribly off topic, since the actual problem is a Firefox bug, but perhaps it will be of interest to other Firefox/jQuery users. I am using a very simple jQuery script to input unusual characters. It simply runs a bunch of substitutions on the .value of a textarea on every .keyup(). Here's a test:

It works fine, but if the text is too long to fit in the textarea, it automatically scrolls back to the top after every keyup -- that is, every time the textarea's .value is reset. This is a known bug in Firefox:

There is a workaround in that thread:

But it ain't pretty. Perhaps someone here has dealt with this bug, or has an idea for a better workaround?
