Description
Yechiel has been trying to build lessons for Israel Bytes and complained that the text is extremely difficult to work with. I asked to see his screen, and could not believe what he was having to do to edit text.
- Bounding box did not cover the text.
- If you deleted all the text and started writing, the box did not resize, so you could not see the text at all
- If you wrote in English in the text box, it was all reversed, going right to left, even though the LTR indicator was on.

I suggested he change to Chrome, since I have never experienced this issue with text, and it then worked beautifully.
we definitely need to look into text editing in Firefox!
