Text lags when typing in discussion forums

While typing an entry in a discussion forum, in this case ''topix.net'', the displayed text will lag far behind the typing. Every so often it will "burp" = the display will refresh, the cursor will jump to catch up, and will leave out anything typed in the interim, causing one to have to go back and insert corrections.
I can do the same task in IE, and there is no lag, so it is obvioulsy a FF issue. I'm "guessing" it has something to do with the spellcheck function? If I could turn that off, I could confirm.

The two major causes of this are moving the frame over or next to an object to which text wrap is applied, or specifying that the text should align to the baseline grid and there is no grid line within the bounds of the frame (the frame is not tall enough to span the baseline grid).

  • Has anyone experienced lagging when typing on the mac since the mountain lion os x update?

    hey everyone,
    i'm a newbie to this kind of stuff but just curious if anyone has experienced any kind of lag when typing since the mountain lion update. I find then whenever i'm typing it doesn't show up and as soon as i start deleting my sentence it will appear again.
    also, when scrolling over a highlighted word, your typical menu box will drop down. As soon as it drops down it leaves a big white blank where it was and cuts out everything that was in its path.
    please let me know if this is something that can be fixed or if apple's working on something to amend the issue. thanks everyone!

  • IE 9, 10, 11 - Slow/Lag when typing

    *UPDATE*
    So just installing the latest display driver (AMD HD-3xxx) from Dell's website did NOT fix the issue. For whatever reason (still researching) The ATI Catalyst software needs to be installed also. So for testing, I imaged an Optiplex 780 (on board
    video) and I had no Issues with IE. I then installed the same image on an Optiplex 9020 with a Video Card. I made sure I had the latest driver in MDT as well. Once it was imaged and I tested IE I had the same issues. Installed the Catalyst software and teh
    issues ran away. I then uninstalled the video card from the computer, reimaged the Optiplex 9020 using the on board drivers and had no issues with IE.
    Link to AMD and BINGO: http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2010/03/16/ie9-takes-advantage-of-the-gpu/
    A few users have brought this to my attention, I had not tested to much since IE is not my default browser, shame on me. I am imaging Dell Optiplex 760's and 9020's with a custom image and having it patch after installing applications. IE
    11 is being loaded on when this happens. For whatever reason IE will lag when typing in certain page fields. It does it when searching in Google or if I go to my companies OWA page. For testing I went ahead and built a machine from scratch (using Windows 7
    USB) ran all of the latest patches, installed all of the same software and what do you know IE works without any issues. So on the computer that was having issues, I tried safe mode and no issues when using IE. Here is the kicker, If I roll back IE all the
    way to IE 8 it works perfectly, once I started going to 10 and then 11 is when I noticed the issues.
    I have been racking my brain for the past week on this issue. I have rebuilt the task sequences for both machines even when using the install files from a disk to image a machine, as soon as I run Windows Updates IE breaks. Any thoughts? Oh and I have tried
    EVERYTHING in regards to IE, no add ons, reset settings, inPrivate, everything

    Hey Keith,
    You may have hit it right on the nose. Turns out the CAB file I had was outdated and I had to grab the latest video driver from Dells website. The Optiplex 760's we run have a video card and what I believe is happening is when imaging the machines out the
    Catalyst software is not being installed which is causing the errors (I think). As soon as I updated the display driver and installed the supporting software with it the issues went away. I updated MDT with the latest video driver and am going to image a machine
    to see if that is all it needed. If it does need the Catalyst software installed I'll be adding that to my base image so I don't run into this again. 

  • Another thrillilng lag when typing

    it's so exciting to have a snag like lagging when typing. I have a Toshiba L675 and suddenly (and without warning) my keyboard is not at times keeping up with my slow typing. One can type a whole word before it shows up on i.e. Outlook 2013 or Google in IE10.
    I am using Windows 8 and nothing installed new. This problem just decided ot create itself to give me grief. Anyone out there have an idea as to what can or is causing this. No viruses / malware. Typing here produces no problem whatsoever, but in IE10 and Outlook 2013 is where my pain lies.
    Help will be appreciated. Thanks!
    (In the highly unlikely event you do not see this posting, please let me know immediately)

    Thanks for the replies. I've done the Reset thing - presently I have disabled all the Addon's. Also, in the Registry, I have in the H-Key_Current_User / Control Panel / Desktop -MenuShowDelay tried from the default number 400 and switched it 100, then 200, then 500, now currently 150, all of which are really making no change.
    I have done the Malware and virus check(s) - done the CCleaner, shut off the smooth scrolling in Outlook 2013, but nothing changes this.
    As to the cpu usuage, it really does not change. I've had the Taskmanager set so it doesn't disappear when I type, and when a word doesn't come up, nothing changes there.
    This thing is sporatic. I can go 30 - 40 seconds typing and no problem then suddenly a word, or three or for letters are typed before it shows up on the screen. Then everything will roll along well and then the problem begins again.
    This problem is something new that's popped up its head within the last four or so days.
    I'm using a Toshiba L675-00X-00X. I've had Windows 8 / IE10 on this unit since October / 12 and not a flaw ... well, until now. But I've seen this on other laptops and somehow got rid of it but just can't remember how.
    Your help / suggestions will be welcomed I'm sure.

  • Extreme lag when typing in Safari

    I get a huge lag when typing an address or search term in safari. It started about a month ago and hasn't gotten any better. It's pretty much driving me nuts.
    Any ideas out there?
    Ray

    See if any of the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • InDesign CC on OSX 10.9 text missing when typing fast

    When typing at my usual pace InDesign will lag and miss three/four letters of what I typed and when I go back through I find a multitude of errors in my text. Any ideas?

    Type slower??
    This happens to me too occasionally. Have not been able to figure out why. If I noticed the cursor lagging I just wait a few secs and then it usually catches up before I've made any major errors. I do check each paragraph as I go, though...just because of this lag.

  • Serious screen lag when typing in fields with Safari, Chrome, etc.

    With my MacBook Pro 15" i7 I'm experiencing a serious lag time when typing comments in posts online... like right now.. I'll type a few words and nothing shows up on the screen until I stop typing. Then the rest of the words leisurely fill in after I stop.
    This happens in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. On my iMac 27" i7 and MacPro, using the same Airport wi-fi in my house, I do not experience this.
    When I type in Mail, TextEdit, etc., as I type the letters show up as fast as I can type.
    I've got 8GB of RAM, 4GB of free RAM, a MacBook Pro15" i7, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD with plenty of space on it, recently fixed permissions, checked disk with Disk Utility AND DiskWarrior, re-booted, cleared caches, checked for current firmware... what now?
    This doesn't happen on my other Macs, so I know something is up with this machine. (I typed that entire last sentence in before anything showed up on the screen - then when I stopped, after a few seconds, the words filled in.)
    Driving me bonkers! Can anyone offer a solution?

    Im am having the same problems never happen before -15inch macbook pro i7 4 gb ram 500 gb 7200 rpm hd... curious that we both have the 7200 rpm!!?? ....On 2nd laptop same problem and after days with apple online and store -still no answer ....  Here is a link for another thread i'm on with further lag issues im having...

  • MBP lags when typing in pages

    Hi,
    I have a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro and when I am typing in pages it is constantly lagging by a couple of seconds, It also lags when I am zooming in or out and doing thing like moving images and text boxes. It is really frustrating and any help is much appreciated..

    Saw you got no response. You could try some basic repairs.
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • Text Format problem in Online Discussion Forum app

    Hello,
    I want to use the Online Discussion Forum app to host forums for DBAs to post information and discussion of database problems. I would like to be able to cut and paste material from log files, config files and other sources into the posted messages along with original text. When I paste a block of text from a terminal window into the message window of ODF the text appears okay. However when I click Preview (or Post the message and later view it), the text appears to run together and the line breaks appear as the string "br" embedded in angle brackets in the run on text rather than being honored as actual line breaks.
    I am using Firefox 2 on a Sun Solaris workstation as my browser. The text is being cut from xterm type terminal windows on Solaris. Anyone know why this is happening and whether there is anything I can do about it.?

    I forgot to mention that I am using Online Discussion Forum v0.92 using Apex v3.0.1 on Oracle 10.2.0.3 running on a Sun Solaris 8 server.

  • Text invisible when typing in online web forms

    Just recently when typing into text fields on web forms, my text is invisible. For example, I had a little trouble registering for this help service as I could not see what I was typing. The cursor is visible and moving, but no text is visible. This does not happen on my other browsers and didn't happen in Firefox until very recently. I notice however that this form I am currently typing in is ok; I guess it has different coding behind it.
    Another problem that started around the same time - when I go back to previous page, it doesn't go back to last position but puts me back at the top of the page. Don't know if this is related.

    This is more likely a font problem (missing or corrupted) then an encoding issue.
    Try to disable the website fonts as a test and try a few different default (serif/sans-serif) fonts.<br />
    Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced ([ ] Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above)<br />
    If that works then you need to reinstall the corrupted font.

  • Auto orientation only in landscape modes, text centering when typing

    Hi,
    I have two problems:
    1. I don't want to rotate my app when device is in portrait position, only flip it horizontal when it is rotated to another landscape position
    2. Text is not centered when typing into input textfield with centered text (but it is ok after confirming).
    Any help would be very appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I've had to solve this problem (#1), and there are many aspects and difficulties to it. I wrote up a long email about the problem, which I'll paste here. Hope you can follow along!:
    I’ve wanted to do autorotate landscape only, and thought that I only had the choice of either autorotate to all four orientations, or no autorotate at all, but I just looked into it, and through reading three different topics here, I managed to do achieve everything I wanted. So I’ll write it up here in case someone else doesn’t have as much luck searching through the old messages.
    In my particular case I have two reasons to want to be landscape: 1. The design is a landscape one, and not one that can easily be rearranged into a portrait mode. 2. We have gameplay that involves tilting the device, and although it’s fine tuned to work in a narrow range of tilting, people keep on tilting so much that the portrait mode kicks in. With the right kind of game, you could really lose your marbles when that happens!
    Those problems can be solved by not autorotating, and finding a way to force landscape. But then that runs into another issue. If it worked that way, an iPad version would be rejected by Apple.
    There are several problems to solve (which I think also apply to Android):
    Autorotate without allowing normal or upside down portrait.
    Make it be landscape from the start even if the user is holding it in portrait as they open the app (setting that in publishing doesn’t achieve the goal).
    Allow someone to change their mind about which landscape they want to use.
    Here’s the way to solve the first issue:
    stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, orientationChangeListener);
    function orientationChangeListener(e:StageOrientationEvent) {
    if (e.afterOrientation=="default"||e.afterOrientation=="upsideDown") {
    e.preventDefault();
    Once you’re in normal landscape, you can only be in normal landscape or upside down landscape. The Portraits are prevented from happening, because StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING happens before the autorotate kicks in.
    Making it be landscape from the start can be done like this:
    stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT);
    but that would only work well for the majority. People who like to hold the device in the upside down landscape would be frustrated. So that can be taken care of by looking at which way the device is at the time the app is opened. Also, as it may initially be in Portrait (because the user doesn’t yet know that your app is landscape designed), you have to decide with landscape to give them. I reason that giving them the normal landscape would be the safer bet. That all comes out as these lines:
    var startOrientation:String=stage.orientation;
    if (startOrientation=="default"||startOrientation=="upsideDown") {
    stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT);
    } else {
    stage.setOrientation(startOrientation);
    That’s nearly all the problems solved, but there’s one last one, which I’ll log a bug about (once there is an iPhone beta again). If you open the app in rotatedright and then change your mind to want to use it as rotatedleft, the autorotate works wonderfully. Unfortunately, if you start in rotatedleft and then want to use rotatedright, the autorotate does not work, no matter how many contortions you do. You have to quit the app and hold it in portrait or rotateright from the start.
    This turns out to be easily worked around, by doing the counterintuitive step of setting Portrait in publishing settings. Then when you tell it to be one of the landscapes by doing stage.setOrientation, the app can tell that going from rotatedleft to rotateright is a change of rotation, because it already got kick started with a change away from the default setting of Portrait.
