Can't see what I am typing after logout from Xorg

Hello,
I noticed this problem a few years ago , I thought that it was related to my computer, of something I was doing wrong, but I noticed that this problem appears every time for me, with every computer. I'll try to explain it, but it will be hard
So, this problem appears at least in the two following cases:
- After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) without any xf86-video-driver installed, it crashes (as expected), and comes back to tty.
- After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) with the right xf86-video-driver installed, it works. I see my windows manager (Openbox) I click "Logout" to come back from X to tty.
But, once I came back to tty, I can't see what I am typing in the terminal (like a freeze). My commands are executed (I can logout) but I don't see what I am typing. If I try to edit a textfile using nano, it seems to be frozen. The only solution after that to see what I am typing is to logout, and login again. The only solution to edit a textfile using nano after that is to reboot my computer...
Haven't to noticed that ? Am I doing something wrong ? Isn't it a bug ?
Thank you

I can't see what is being typed to me HELP!!

The person I am chatting with can see what is being typed to them and is able to respond, but I cant see what their responses are. Help pleeeaassseee!! Is it my computer?

Before trying to isolate an issue, it's always best that one is running the latest Skype release. Which may in itself resolve the issue.
A new version has just been released September 13th, 2011:
Please download/install this version from here, when prompted click the open or run button: http://download.skype.com/SkypeSetup.exe
This new version is 5.5.0.117 to check what version you have, using the main Skype client window please do:
Help -> About Skype
This is NOT a fix or solution.
Please right click on the Skype Icon in your system tray and change your status to "Offline" for 5 seconds and then back to "Online".
This forces a status update of all your contacts in your contact list as well as a update of your status without the need to logoff/logon.
Also, if possible, call them Skype to Skype and request they do the same, while you are both online.

My search bar in google now turns blue and I can not see what I am typing. Why? I read somewhere it's a problem with Firefox. Is there a fix for this?

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but one day my Google search bar turned blue when I tried typing in it. I couldn't see what I was typing. I did some research and some forums said it was a problem with Firefox. Have you heard of this? Is there a solution for it?
Thank you for your help.

For me, the google search bar turns blue once I've typed in a search term, but then want to click on it again to change or add something. The entire bar turns blue. I can still type, but it's hidden. Then when I click Search, it does bring up my search results and now the terms I've written are showing in the search bar, with no blue.
The only way to get out of it when the blue is there, is to reload the page.

When I type the keyboard is in the way and I can't see what I am typing. How do I fix this on my iPad?

I just updated to ios8 on my iPad and the keyboard blocking the text is driving me nuts! You used to be able to scroll the page up which would allow one to see what you were typing. Ugh! Help. splitting the screen is not an option. It used to work fine

The chat box goes down when i do split keyboard and I can't see what I am typing

The chat box goes down when i do split keyboard and I can't see what I am typing

I noticed that you responded to a very old thread about the split keyboard that I was in a couple of years ago and you asked this question about Skype and the spli keyboard.
I Googled the question and the very first thing that I found form the Skype community was the recommendation to disable the split keyboard or just not use it, like I already stated.

When ever i type into a search bar or box of any kind now it turns blue, and with a few websites that makes it so i can not see what i'm typing, what is the problem?

Like i stated i'm having a problem with every time i type into a search bar or box of any kind including log ins and such the box turns blue, and in many cases makes it so i can not read what i am typing. Tried same website on IE and they worked fine so i assume it's firefox, is there anything i can do about it

When I type into any text box the background of the box is blue and when I try to google something I can't see what I am typing...anyone know how to fix this?

Any text box I type in the background is blue no matter what, if the website is dark the font is white and I can't read what I am typing. When I type in Google my typing doesn't show up unless I highlight it. Any help?

That can be caused by the "Keystroke protection" in Comcast Constant Guard.

When typing letters are delayed and can't see what is being typed

When typing the letters are delayed so you cannot see what you are actually typing.

When I compose an email, I can't see what I'm typing near the right margin. Other browsers have an arrow to click to widen the view. youdon't.

When I compose an email, the composition window is not wide enough, so as I get near the right margin my cursor suddenly disappears behind the right edge of the window for like 10 characters or so and then it reappears on the Left Margin and I can see it again. So if I type something incorrectly out there on the right where I can't see it, I'm screwed. And there's no mechanism to widen the window. In Explorer, there was an arrow halfway down the window that I could click on to widen the window. So I'm gathering this is a browser/Firefox issue. Please advise.

Can't you resize that text area when you move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner?
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
Also make sure to use full page zoom ("View > Zoom Text Only" should not be checked)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

My iPad touch keyboard is coming up in the middle of the screen soni can't see what I'm typing?

How do I get a keyboard on iPad to be back at bottom of screen?

Tap the key on the lower right hand corner of the keyboard for about 1 second, you should see a little window with the word, Dock. Tap dock, and the keyboard should drop down to the bottom. This is how it's done on iPad 2, your iPad is probably similar.

TS3274 This week the keypad "jumped" to the top of the screean't see what I'm typing! How do I get it back down to where it used to be?

This week the keypad "jumped" to the top of the screen so that I often can't see what I'm typing! Not sure why it happened and want to know how to get the keypad back down to where it used to be! Can anyone help?
Cheers

If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.

Has anyone tried emailing after the Yosemite upgrade? The size of the email pane is enormous and cannot be resized so I cannot see what I am typing as it disappears off screen to the right. This must surely be a fault?

The email window pane is huge and disappears off screen and I have not found any way to resize it. This means I cannot see what I am typing as the text disappears to the right off the screen. Only way to see what you are typing is to drag the pane to the left and then back again when the cursor moves to a new line. This surely must be a fault with the new Yosemite OS X?

Thanks, Bee! I never knew that one--it does resize the screen. But, what I want to do is resize it from the corner, or from the side, or from the top. I'd like to move it to another place on the page, if I need to. The bigger problem is that I can no longer click and drag to highlight a word or phrase, etc. Both of these things happened in Office and in Safari after I downloaded Yosemite. I feel sure that it is just some little trick like the one you suggested or some box that I need to tick to get things working like I've always known them to be. Thanks for any help you can give...

What can I do about an HTC One camera having a problem with a frozen display? I can take pictures but I can't see what I'm shooting until after the picture is taken.

I can take pictures but I can't see what I'm shooting until after the picture is taken. I've already had to do one hard reset which deletes all my data. Is there any other solution? Is it a glitch that would be resolved by getting a different phone?

Thanks for the additional information AliciaG.! Let's test your camera in Safe Mode, follow the steps at this link http://vz.to/1mjT7T2 to restart your phone in Safe Mode. Keep us posted.

When typing on my iPad the screen does not move up so I can see what I am typing.

Under normal operation, when using the virtual keypad, iOS shifts the screen so that it's possible to view what you are typing all the time. On my iPad if the text I am typing is below the keyboard, the screen is not automatically moved up. On some forms for example, where it is not possible to manually shift the screen, it is impossible to see what you are typing. I went to the Genius Bar and they wiped my iPad and reinstalled iOS 6 but I still have the problem. I'm guessing it is being caused by one of my apps but with 174 apps which all reinstall from the cloud it is impossible for me to know which one (and Apple is supposed to have tested all apps anyway). Any suggestions?

So reading related comments and your feedback here helped me identify and fix the issue. Basically by turning off the split keyboard option in settings the problem with not scrolling was corrected. I then tried turning the option back on and it now appears to work fine either docked or split. I'm guessing there is a bugs in iOS whereby the setting for the split keyboard causes it to not scroll the window under specific circumstances (if I had to guess I would say when you switch the split keyboard option on and then don't use the spilt keyboard). And for the record, this problem occurred for all Apple apps as well as 3rd party apps (eg Apple notes). my advice to the "Genius" guys is to do basic stuff like changing the settings first before they resort to wiping and restore.
