I can't seem to find any reference to this, but the FCKeditor seems to (on my browser, as well as two other IE's on different OSs / versions / etc), well, flicker the cursor in the editor area. Back and forth, really really fast from pointer to hourglass. Constantly. The status bar is image reloading constantly, but too fast to read. Constantly. Even when typing in the editor area. Strange, Fred's demo page editors don't flicker the cursor. They have constant image loading, but the cursor doesn't flicker back and forth. I've matched the scripts, everything one to one to verify exactly everything is called correctly (view source compares, even within the iframe). Even ran the demo in _test as is with no modifications. Flicker. Barred it down to basic HTML on the page, no other scripts, funny tags, anything. Flicker. This was on .9.0b and also at least on .9.4b.
Any ideas?

RE: Flickering Cursor, Status Bar Going Crazy
In fact, I encounter exactly the same behaviour. I'm using IE 6.0 (.2008.1106) under Windows 98 SE.
FCKeditor was just unpacked on a IIS 5.0 server and I ran the test.asp sample.
On the Fred's demo, I have the same behaviour with the cursor flickering and the status bar diplaying something that I just can't read because it's too fast.
BUT, I figured out that A LOT of trafic was going from my PC to the webserver and MORE trafic was coming from the webserver as well !!
Something like 40kb/s when I add the upload & download values.
When I switch to Source editing, everything is ok. No more flickering and no more trafic in/out.
I am going to test with my home PC which is running under Windows 2000 to see if this is a browser problem.
I'm also going to check out the logs on my server to see was is requested as fast.
RE: Flickering Cursor, Status Bar Going Crazy
I just read my logs and I now understand :
The button's images are requested over and over very faaaaaast... the log file was something like 8Mb large just with button's requests
This now explains why in "Source editing" mode, I can't see trafic going in and out all the time.
I wonder what can cause this problem though...
RE: Flickering Cursor, Status Bar Going Crazy
function TBButtonOut(oImage, Name)
{
// oImage.src = config.ToolbarImagesPath + 'button.' + Name + '.gif';
oImage.className = "ButtonOut" ;
}
I commented out this line because in the function TBButtonOver(oImage, Name) had this line commented also...
I would be interested to ear from you europoopyhead, just to know if this also solve your problem.
