Pages for iOS7: Text entry in tables is slow

I've found that the new Pages on iOS7 becomes unusably slow when entering text into tables, especially noticeable with a Bluetooth keyboard.
Recipe:
1. Connect keyboard (I use an Apple Bluetooth keyboard)
2. Create a Pages doc
3. Insert a table
4. Move insertion point to be inside a cell
5. Type text into table cell
Expected result: text is entered normally
Result: text lags keystrokes by approximately 0.5 seconds
This behavior is not apparent when typing text outside of tables, and the keyboard works great in all other apps. I have tested this with several documents on an iPad 3rd gen, iPhone 4S and a new iPad mini, all running iOS 7.0.3. Results are similar on all, though the mini is almost tolerable.
I've tried resetting all settings, restarting devices, to no avail. I suspect a bug that will be worked out, but I am checking here to see if anyone has a solution.
Unlike some, I am overall pleased with the update to iWork, with no issues with old documents of any note. I like the way that the desktop and mobile versions now are far more equivalent, that works well for what I need in my work.

Update: I was contacted by Apple support for details of this behavior. I hope that means that a fix is in the works!

  • Looking for a text entry component

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a text entry component I can insert in some HTML pages and that will allow the end user to enter and format texts.
    Do you know if such a component exists and where I can find it ?

    I think I didn't took enough time to read your answer.
    Do you mean the textara object in an applet will solve my problem ? most of the time, I'm developing java servlets and html pages but not applets. I'll try to have a look.

  • Submit All button for all text entry boxes at end of exam in Captivate 7

    Hi everyone,
    I am new to this forum, and I was hoping that someone could help me out with a problem that has been eating my lunch for the last week.
    I have a captivate 7 project that I am setting up as a virtual workbook, with text entry boxes asking true/false, yes/no, and short essay questions through out the most part of the workbook, and then at the end it has a series of multiple choice questions that are set up on question slides. Is there a way to have all of the text entered in the text entry boxes submited along with the quiz questions at the end, to my LMS? And if at all possible, still inform the user if there are any questions that have not been answered? Like I said, I am new to this forum, so if I forgot to include any important information, I apologise, but if anyone could help me ouot, I would be extreemly thankful!
    thanks,
    Luke

    thenks for the reply Lilybiri! As far as I have been able to find, there is no way to associate a submit all button with TEBs, so I am not sure if this is something that I am overlooking, or if I am misunderstanding the recomemendation.
    What I am trying to do is set up a bunch of TEBs to be answer entry boxes for questions throughout the workbook, which will lead up to an exam. The exam, I am good on, because it has the submit all button attached. But the TEBs that I am using as the answer entry boxes, I can't seem to find a way to link them all to the same submit button.
    I hope I am being pretty clear about it, but I've been pounding away at this for a while, so I fear it might come out a but rambly. So, please let me know if I need to clarify anything.
    Thanks!

  • How do I show a hand cursor for a text entry box button

    I'm using Captivate 5 and have run into an annoying problem...
    For a general click box, there is an option for "Show hand cursor over hit area" which will result in the cursor changing to a hand when rolling over the click box region in the published presentation.  I want to do the same for the 'submit' button in the text entry box. Is this even possible?  I'm hoping to keep things consistent as a user is clicking through the presentation.
    I find it odd that it doesn't have the same property as found on the clickbox considering it has the same purpose.  I'm using a background screenshot image to simulate an entry in an application, so I'm actualy hiding the submit button, but the button I want them to press lacks the hand cursor that would indicate it is clickable.  I don't want to use a click box to allow the user to move on because I still want a failure in the text entry box to prevent the user from moving on.
    Hope that all makes sense.

    Hi there
    Another approach is to use a Rollover Caption. Just remove any text and configure the caption as transparent. Then layer the Rollover area over the part where you want the hand to change to a cursor. The net effect will be that the cursor change will occur. Clicking will then result in triggering the underlying Submit button, which appers to be invisible and layered over an image.
    Cheers... Rick

  • GR Page headers empty for 1st page for Long Text greated than 26 lines

    Gurus,
    I have this wierd problem on my GR. I added the following code and corresponding fetches in the printprogram to include PO Item long texts in the GR.
    /: INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID& LANGUAGE E PARAGRAPH Z8 NEW-PARAGRAPH Z8 
    When the text is upto 26 lines, everything seems fine. But when it is more than 26 lines and usually a new page needs to be created, all the dynamic texts like PO number, Buyer name, Plant name etc. in the header of the 1st page is blank. But all the details in the second page seem to apprear fine.
    Any suggestions on where to or what to look for to solve this problem?
    I'd appreciate any help with this problem.
    Thanks
    L

    Yes...the way the current print program works is that the header and footer contains information like PO number dat, buyer, isuued by etc and these will print on each page that is created. These are populated prior to the area where write forms for Main are issued.
    The main page contains the Item related information. I have added a code where the long text is also obtained before all the write forms. I then issue write form in the same subroutine where other Main-related write forms are coded.

  • What's going on with my pages for iOS7?

    I have about 450Mb of pages files stored on my 16Gb iPad2. Since updating to iOS7 and updating the pages app, it crashes often; does not show the file preview (just orange pages icons where the visual representation of the file should be); and often runs slow when closing and opening files. I've tried restarting iPad. I often close pages all the way down to get it to unfreeze. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? I use this daily in a business setting and this just will not work. Thanks!

    Is this a one-time occurence, or is it continuous?
    Does the drive have a separate power source or is it bus powered by the Mini?

  • Is there a way to auto-submit numbers for a Text Entry Box and allow for commas or no commas?

    During a software simulation, the user can enter either 20,000 or 20000. Both are acceptable. Is there a way to validate both as acceptable answers and auto-submit? Using version 8.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Suddenly my text entry is lagging/very slow in Mail

    This only happens entering text in Mail, not in text edit (or here). I'm using 10.5.8. Cause?

    That could be caused by many things including being low on RAM or a cache. You can do a simple restart or to reset some of the caches restart in Safe Mode. To check to see if you're low on RAM when you notice the system slowing open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and check the System Memory tab. If the FREE RAM is 500MB or lower you could probably benefit by a RAM upgrade.

  • Can no longer edit text in my table on pages

    I just finished a mammoth report in Pages for which I used a table format for all the verbiage. I am now going back to edit some of the text in the table but when you click on the cell where the existing text is, it goes "white", and you can't edit what's there (because it's now invisible) and you can't add anything else. You click away elsewhere on the page and the previous text fortunately comes back, but it is still unedited :-(  Help!  Thanks

    Doing an entire report in a table is such a bad idea and really unnecessary.
    Sounds like you need to update both Pages and your user tag.
    Are you actually on OSX 10.6.8 and what version of Pages are you using?

  • Text Entry Box not showing all text

    I am creating a simple exercise where I would like the user to copy text from the course, paste it into word, and report back what the word count is.  I thought perhaps the Text Entry Box would be the best way to go, since if you click on the existing (default) text, you can copy it.  However after I place the paragraph of text in the box, and resize in the editor so that all the text shows, it does not show all the text when playing back, either previewd or published.  It only shows the last few words of the last line at the top of the box.
    Is there something I am missing?  Or, is there an easier/better way to do what I need?
    Thanks

    Hi all
    If this is Captivate 4, there may not be any need for a widget to do this. I'm guessing you haven't tried enabling the Scroll Bar for the Text Entry Box (TEB)?
    When I just plop a TEB on a slide, I get this in edit view:
    During playback it looks like this:
    But if I edit the TEB properties and enable the Show Scrollbar option:
    I get this in the output:

  • Text Entry Box not working right??

    This is strange…. If anyone has any thoughts…
    that would be great.
    I have a slide that tests someone's knowledge for inputting
    into a text entry box. I want to give them 2 tries for doing this
    task - and if they don't perform the task correctly, I want an
    error message to display. However, I want the error message to be
    different based on the 1st time that they try and the second time.
    The method to accomplish this.. I have done many times, and has
    always worked. However, for some reason, it's not working this
    time.
    In order to customize the error message based on whether it's
    the 1st try or the second - I have created 2 text entry boxes.
    The first text entry box is set to display at 0 seconds, is
    set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
    If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
    navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
    entry they will continue on the same slide and a failure caption is
    selected to display (this is the first error message that displays
    for the first try.)
    The second text entry box is set to display at 2 seconds, is
    set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
    If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
    navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
    entry they will continue on the same slide. No failure caption is
    selected to display. This is the important point... I have not
    selected for a failure caption to display for this text entry box.
    I have a text caption that displays at 4 seconds - this is
    the second error message that the user will see if they input an
    incorrect text entry into the second text entry box.
    Everything seems to work fine except... for some reason, when
    I enter an incorrect text entry into the second text entry box, I
    get the failure message that I set for the first text entry box.???
    Very strange. I have recreated this 3 times - each time it works.
    Then, all of a sudden, it stops working. I’ve even tried
    recreating the movie from scratch… but same results.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Lynn

    Hi again
    Okay, makes sense. I suppose in this case, I'd simply use
    another slide. From what you have explained, it would appear there
    is a possible issue Captivate is having with multiple text entry
    boxes on the same slide.
    So I would insert a slide following the existing slide. Then
    on failure of the first text entry box, direct to the next slide.
    On success of the first text entry box, skip over the new slide to
    the proper "continue" slide.
    Hopefully that makes sense... Rick

  • Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide?

    Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide, each with it's own possible answer without having to have a separte submit button for each?
    Message was edited by: Suzanne Petty

    I'm using Captivate 5 - I'm thinking I would like to put two or three text entry boxes on one slide - say labeled Name, Email and Company I'd like to have any answer be accepted, yet I still want to have the answers included with the quiz reporting for our main quiz which I set up using a question pool.
    I understand I can uncheck the validate user input box in the general menu in the property inspector, but that also makes the reporting menu inactive for the text entry box.
    Is there a way to make validate user input accept any answer that is typed in the box, but still have the answers reported with my quiz?
    Thanks
