**UPDATE** : The text field’s viewport is not being scrolled to include the new cursor position.

It does for me in Chrome – I click the insert HR toolbar button (the line) and the cursor moves under the line.

I’m on Chrome 40 too, albeit on Windows.
Sanity check #1: the attachment is an animated GIF that shows the problem.
Sanity check #2: the cursor needs to be on the last line of the editor.

Oh, slight distinction:
The cursor _is_ being placed below the inserted `---` line, but the text field’s viewport is _not_ being scrolled to include the new cursor position…

Wish I could edit the topic title but don’t have permissions, so:
**Clarification** : the viewport is not scrolled when an HR is inserted _on the last line_ of a scrollable post
