insert link box behind gray box, nothing selectable

So I have had this problem with my wordpress blog since 2.6.3. When I try to add anything in the visual editor the screen grays out and then the box I want to get to is behind that, immobilized frozen in time.. a picture says a thousand words.

This happens while using the Webkit browser which is what Safari is based off of. I use a Mac don’t judge me. Go figure it works just fine inside Safari which isnt even Acid3 100% valid but that is beyond the point.

Anyone have any advice besides switching to a slower browser such as Safari to write my posts?
