Interesting.  That relates to Ubuntu technical support just how, again?

You /ARE/ a moderator, right, and scold others for infractions?  Don't
/you/ know the rules?

If you can't do it right, yourself, how can you scold others?  Perhaps
you should do the right thing and step down.

...and fix that thing you use instead of a delimiter.  It ain't working.

It might have something to do with Ubuntu. I haven’t heard about this happening on other operating systems. Let’s not go there. I’m sure you aren’t perfect. I’m not saying I am, but let’s just not go there.

 

It may have something to do with the settings in all web browsers. I noticed one time, when I was in the Grace Academy (which is basically an online Christian homeschool course), that when I was using the live chat feature to talk to my teachers, if I pressed backspace, I was redirected /back/, and the live chat ended. I figured out that was a feature in Chrome I had to turn off. So it may very well be like that... :) Hope this helps!
