When the text being editing gets to be a certain size the window flashes once as the raw text is displayed, flashes again as the rich text editor formats it and displays it again, then it flashes a final time and blanks out to the color of whatever is behind it. Is there a limit to the ammount of text it will accept that is already in the text box? Is this bug fixable?

Edit: This is in firefox btw.

I've not seen this myself, but from the sound of it, it sounds like an issue with the Browser itself as the RTE uses the built in RTE features of the web browser. With Mozilla/Firefox it uses the built in Midas API.

changed it to

name="Editorarticlecontent  id="articlecontent

and the field populates
