problem with editing a review creation
I only created a few reviews since it was done on that small side window page. But my most recent one had quite a glitch. No matter how i tried to edit my text the cursor jumped all over the word/s.. So in the end I gave up and just put a note below my unfinished text regarding this problem (starting with IMDB) at the end of my unfinished review and submitted it. I have not seen anything about it yet from imdb.
I much preferred to have a large window like here to enter text. Saying this I also was quite annoyed trying to check something on the page, I lost my review and had to start again from scratch. It would be nice if one's review stays on "pause" in such occasions. And I also, somehow, ended up with a regular window (again) like this one to enter my review. But the incident did happen in a side window.
Now you ask for a "Topic" but dictate what topic we can choose.
I think mine is 'Problem to enter data for a review on my PC W10...' But there is anything near this on your list of 4 topics with no obvious relevance to my problem!

Hi Michelmmm -
To address the first issue, are you still experiencing a problem with your cursor jumping around when submitting new User Reviews?
In order for our staff to check the User Review you submitted, can you post the 18-digit submission reference number?

Thank you for your reply. Perhaps this is the No you're asking for:
Contribution #210810-123644-272204
Here is the text in question:
Instant Family (2018)
Hard facts in Humorous ways.
Just caught this movie on TV. I'm quite a M Wahlberg's fan. So it was a plus from the start.
Adoption has briefly came to my mind and I was also half adopoted . Hoewlings on the subject did not really affect my taking of this movie. I just liked it as it came with the characters playing they part to give it a strong sense of reality. Most of the reviews on it I read here were of this opinion too and also quoted to be a pleasant, funny yet emotionally charged.
It's worth noting that a few of these reviewer had strong experience on this topic.
Imdb There is something wrong with this window. It won't let me type what I want. The typing is all over the place I had to stop writing although here it's ok????
And here is what you can see above and that I spent 'some time' to try to fix but failed:
adopoted . Hoewlings (it was something like "adopted. However")
As I said later on I found a different type of window/ panel a little like the one I opened here clicking "view on IMDB...." (This link was also a little misleading as it seemed on the email that clicking on it I would see my review...But trying to reply the email you sent me I saw "NO Reply" flashing and realised what it was. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to name that link "Click this link to reply" ?
I'm a little surprised too that my review as it is was accepted when it's obvious it is not finished, and wonder what's the use of it being reviewed before publishing?
Since I submitted a new review in the same type of window without any problem. But I certainly prefer the window/panel I'm using here.
I also remember mentioning the way 'one's ' review can disappear just because one's wants to check something on the original film reviewed next to it (maybe other reason too). This is not very funny or helpful as some of us put a lot of energy in creating the first draw... I wonder is there would be way to improve it? Thinking about it my answer would be to complete it on a word processor then paste it into imdb. But double handling is a bit of a pain!
I realise you're handling 1000s of 'prose' like mine and it may be too much for you to worry about it when actually these incidents were mostly 'one off'... Reg. MM

Hi Michelmmm -
I checked the submission and can confirm that it was for "The Hurt Locker" and this review has been approved and is now live on the site.
You previously mentioned a User Review for the title, "Instant Family", I can also see that your review for this title was approved and is also listed on the site. I would encourage you to try editing this review again, if you need further information on how to edit User Reviews I encourage you to take a look at our Help Guide.
If you encounter any problems or a continuing issue while updating your review, let us know and I can take another look at the issue.
Cheers!

Hmm, I do know Hurt Locker was approved but as already stated twice "instant family" Caused me problems that I tried to explain. And I'm a little surprised it was accepted as it was. Since part of this unfinished review ended with a brief note to "imdb" stating I had problem.
I don't quite understand what is the point of reviewing our input if this could not been seen. I thought the aim of supervising what we write was to detect if something was not right.
I think in the future I won't bother, I believe most would not but I thought it would have been helpful for you to know about something that may need fixing. Obviously I have too much time in my hands...
Please consider the matter closed and yes I will try to fix that review which most likely I could have done on the first place and waste no one's time .
