Hi guys, when I was trying to post something in the H/W forum and tried to use the Latex reference I could press the tab, but nothing happened.

Is this a bug?

Thanks!

I just tried it in H/w forum and it doesn't work for me, windows 8 preview, firefox 15.

Edit: It doesn't work anywhere apparently, well I tried a couple of the math forums and the maths and physics homework sections.
 


Thanks Greg!
