grammaticality - What's wrong with this sentence?

I've noticed a few times recently that a generic, but well known text editor seems to be flagging up stuff that I'm sure is correct.



For example, in the following sentence, the generic, but well known text editor thinks I should be using its instead of it's.



Bad Grammar Checking



When I click on the Grammar... option, or go to the Explain... option within the spell-checker, the generic, but well known editor takes me to a page that just lists a few "Commonly Confused Words".



I am confused! I think the sentence:




"I think it's rubbish, too."




... is a perfectly valid sentence that could also be written:




"I think it is rubbish, too."




Am I wrong, or is the generic, but well known editor wrong?
