5. In addition to the problem described above, there are 2 other things I keep running into.

1. Sometimes the text I've typed in the "Title" box disappears before I finish the body of the post,. I know I'm not imagining this, because it's my habit to always fill in the title first.

Sometimes I notice this when I try to preview a post and the system gives me a stern message saying the title has to be filled in. I often write rather long posts, and I tend to preview repeatedly to cut down on having to edit after I've posted. I have had the title of a post disappear multiple times when repeatedly previewing, and I have to keep retyping it.

2. Sometimes, while typing a post, the cursor will *poof* disappear from the text box. This is also more apt to happen with long posts. If I need to go back to insert a word or a character in a previous line, I have to try and tap the screen in the right place, but I can't tell for sure intil I type a character. (This is a lot harder on a touch screen than it would be with a mouse.)

These last 2 glitches don't affect me nearly as much as the one I described in the op, but they are annoying. I am a big fan of DU4 overall, and I really hope these things can be fixed so that I can post the way I used to in DU3, with fewer missteps. Thanks for DU4 and thanks for looking into these glitches!
