Using the following HTML snippet:
<form action="mailto:Kligor.T@gee.whiz.com">
<textarea rows="10" cols="40">
</textarea>
apprunner displays a text input control in the browser. However, when you click
into it, behavior is different among platforms and in no case ideal. On Windows,
the cursor shows up not at the upper left hand corner of the text area, but near
the middle of the top row, and there appears to be a tab to the left of it (that
is, you can press the left arrow key to go to the upper left hand corner). On
the Mac, clicking into the text area places the insertion point about a space to
the right of the expected upper left hand corner position, and you can press the
left arrow key to go there. If it's possible, please change this so that
clicking into a textarea always places the cursor in the upper left hand corner
of the area, and so that there are no tabs or spaces in the area.

Kevin, we may want to hold off on this one until after we get Ender unless it is
easy.

We have the same behavior in Communicator and I believe that the differences you
have seen between Mac and Windows come from differences in the sample HTML
snippet that you were using on the two platforms.
The spaces that you were seeing correspond to the spaces before the </textarea>
tag. I guess that on windows, you had 8 spaces (that's why the cursor was near
the middle of the top row) while on the Mac, you had 1 or 2 tabs at the same
location (that's why the cursor was closer to the upper left hand corner
position).
If you want to avoid the problem, use the following HTML snippet:
<form action="Kligor.T@gee.whiz.com">
<textarea rows="10" cols="40"></textarea>
