RTE FireFox "Error inserting object"

Hi,
I have found a problem on a vanilla installion of Web Wiz Forum version 8.03. This did not occur with RTE version 1 (v7.97).

This problem occurs in FireFox 1.5.0.6 on Windows and happens in this forum too.

If you go to new_topic_form.asp (by creating a new topic) then without clicking on the text-area or entering a subject, insert an emoticon. 1st time it will work but cursor does not appear inside the text-area. Second time an error pops-up: "Error inserting object at current location".

After you click OK on this error and then click inside the text-area (the iframe), you will find the cursor after the 1st image and backspace cannot delete the emoticon that was inserted the 1st time.

This doesn't happen if you click in the text area and type some text first before trying to insert the emoticon.

This also happens (but to a lesser degree) if you press ENTER to make a new line and then try to insert an emoticon twice, (but in this case Backspace successfully deletes the inserted emoticon).

Is there anyway this can be corrected (editing the javascript generated by the RTE_Javascript.ASP file ?) or is there something I am missing ?

Is there a reason backspace (\b) stops working when this happens in the full blown editor (in the post reply page ?)

and 2nd thing, this did not happen at all in version 7.97 (in a site using it) (under the same test conditions), is there a way for me to revert the insert emoticon funtion to the version used in v7.97 or would that be impossible to accomplish ?.

And 3rd, I can't seem to find a link to download the older version of Web Wiz (for investigating this further), is it available from this site ?

Thanks for the information :)
