I created an assignment in which I inadvertently failed to post date the start date until after I created groups for the class.

Strange Comment Behavior. Text Shifting Out of Place in Sentences
One of our faculty experienced the cursor acting strangely when leaving comments on an assignment. While she was typing the comment box would sometimes shirt her text back to a point in the sentence it did not belong. So "The dog ran across the street" becomes "across the street The dog ran". Has anyone else heard of this?…
