Problems highlighting text in Item Details section of listing.

I recently started experiencing problems whenever highlighting text in <Item Description> section of a listing. I right click and drag to select text/words I want to copy or replace with new text and the cursor automatically selects entire text from the cursor placement and proceeds to scroll down automatically to the bottom of the page. The only way I can replace text is to place my cursor on the last letter of the word(s) I want replace, press delete as many times as I need to so that the word(s) is erased and then re-type the new word. 

How can I get my highlight option to function the way it did?

Problems highlighting text in Item Details section of listing.

Your post confused me greatly for about a week until I had occasion to attempt to edit some text while revising an Item Description. The moment I went to 'highlight' a passage with my mouse, the page shot to the bottom. I have no idea as to the reason for this. 

 

There must be a technical error somewhere. 

 

Were you too trying to revise an existing live listing?

It happens when I revise a live listing as well as when I use the 'sell similar' option and then try to modify the item description. I finally decided to switch from Safari to Google Chrome and don't have the problem anymore. Must be a Safari-eBay glitch! Now if I can only get my fractions to subscript automatically (tried every which way to no avail), I'd be a happy camper. 🙂

Ah. Yes. Safari. That's what I'm using too.
