Simple RadEditor within UpdatePanel problem?

[Brian]

For some reason, I only get TextChanged to fire if I switch between design/html source mode before hitting my submit button. The entire control is embedded within a regular <asp:UpdatePanel ...> If I take the editor out of the update panel, the initial postback is fine and the .Content/.Text properties have their values. Does RadEditor-Ajax play nice with UpdatePanels? I'm using build version 1001 in a ASP.net 3.5 web project.

        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePartialRendering="true"></asp:ScriptManager>
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Always">
            <Triggers>
                <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnSubmit" EventName="Click" />
            </Triggers>
            <ContentTemplate>
                <telerik:RadEditor
                    runat="server"
                    ID="RadEditor1"
                    Visible="true"
                    Skin="Default"
                    ToolbarMode="Default">
                    <Tools>
                        <telerik:EditorToolGroup Tag="FirstBar">
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Cut" />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Copy" />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Paste" />
                            <telerik:EditorSeparator />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Undo" />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Redo" />
                            <telerik:EditorSeparator />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="FindAndReplace" />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="AjaxSpellCheck" />
                            <telerik:EditorSeparator />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Bold" />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Italic" />
                            <telerik:EditorTool Name="Underline" />
                        </telerik:EditorToolGroup>
                    </Tools>
                </telerik:RadEditor>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
        <br />
        <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" CausesValidation="true" />

To follow up -- this ONLY happens in Safari/Firefox.

If anyone else has encountered this problem, the fix was quite simple:

UseSubmitBehavior had to be set to false for the btnSubmit:
