Here is my result:
Hi Chad, [[CURSOR]]

Johnny B

"Johnny B is the Key..."

RE/MAX Executive

Please notice the text: "[[CURSOR]]" to the right of "Hi Chad,".

I can't get rid of the text "[[CURSOR]]. And my cursor doesn't focus where I want it.

Thanks,
Johnny B

I see the same problem. Not sure really why it don't work but I'll look into it.
jbretthauer2007-02-11 22:20:42
Thank you. I appreciate your looking into it.
jbretthauer2007-03-11 07:31:06
Anybody have a solution yet?
BroBillnTexas2007-05-26 22:54:24
Just below where you typed;
Hi [[TO=firstname]],

[[CURSOR]]
[[TEXT=Signatures|Work]]

there is a line stating INSERT as: Text or HTML
Select HTML
Try that out.

Hi,

I have the same problem (inserted as html :-)). It does not work! Is there no solution for this little problem?

I'm aware of the problem. But unfortunately I don't have any solution for it yet.
asallen0052008-10-07 23:42:51
Hi. I did not experience this problem until a week or so ago. I've tried all sorts of things, but despite it all the [[cursor]] function doesn't seem to work anymore. Any ideas? Thanks!
gpseymour2009-02-13 17:17:57
I've just started seeing this error in the last few weeks. I see it was first reported about 18 months ago. Has anyone found a solution to this, or at least an explanation as to why it occurs?

To further report, I don't see it every time. I've not yet been able to identify when it does and doesn't occur, but it occurs with more than one signature I add with QuickText.

I'm running TB 2.0.0.19 (20081209), on WinXP (all latest updates). I don't recall ever seeing this error before January 2009 (though it's possible I just missed it a few times, since it's intermittent).
jorgedaestrada2009-11-20 11:12:03
I have had the same problem and I've found the solution. The thing to do is select the template when the cursor is on the line where it sets the destination address, either with the combination of keys as with the option that appears in the QuickText bar above where you type your message.

I hope I have helped.
thecapper2009-11-26 08:34:38
Hi,
I am having the same problem with [[cursor]] showing up in my html signature. I don't understand user jorgeaestrada's post about a solution. I have not found a workaround.

Using TBird version 2.0.0.23 on Windows Vista.
WizKid2009-12-10 20:41:05
Could someone send me a HTML-template that doesn't work? (emil AT hesslow DOT se)
jos.jong2009-12-13 23:50:33
I also have this annoying problem with version 0.9.10.1 (Thunderbird 2.0.0.23) and found a minimalistic example that maybe can help to fix it. I don't have the expertise myself (yet).

The following goes wrong: [[CURSOR]]<style></style><div>foo</div>
But this one works: [[CURSOR]]<div><style></style>foo</div>

As you can see the only difference is that the <style> element is now outside the div.
WizKid2009-12-13 23:53:39
jos.jong: Thanks. I have an alternative thing I want to test because the current way I do the [[CURSOR]] is somewhat buggy. I'll try that and if that works better I'll release a new version in a week or two.

I'm having the same problem problem here.
Yet what's interesting is that if I do an [enter] first and then insert the quicktext it does work.
Then I tried adding a <br> in front of the quicktext but it didn't have the same effect.
While having a closer look I noticed the difference is that the email I typed with a manual [enter] made a <br> within the </font> tag of the email.
The quicktext made the <br> outside the </font> tag.
I didn't manage to get quicktext to put the <br> inside the </font> tag by altering the quicktext code, but maby this could lead to a solution.
