Typing lag resulting in missing words

[Problem summary]
We are having issues with the response speed of FrameMaker when we type.
We encountered different cases but I'm submitting this one because it is easy to recreate.
[Setup]
-Adobe FrameMaker 8.0p277
-Windows XP SP3 (with all required updates)
-Problem was successfully recreated on Windows Vista and many other PCs
-Text is in french and english
-We tried other keyboards
-Local and network file access has been tested
[Steps to recreate]
-Open the FrameMaker document "LoiCieQcCorpsP-II.FM"
-Goto page A-144. (you may refer to the file "screencap1.jpg")
-Goto the second grayed box containing text: "NON EN VIGUEUR 191.1 [«actionnaire»] Dans les articles 191.2 à 191.12, le mot «actionnaire» signifie la personne habile à voter à lassemblée annuelle et qui:"
-Highlight "191" of the left side box, and quickly retype the value "191" using the num pad. You will notice a "lag" effect and only "19" will successfully appear. (you may refer to the file "screencap2.jpg")
Sample files available at: http://www.interscript.ca/adobe_support/0180726694.zip
We also had issues with missing words when hitting the enter key to do a line break, they both seems to be related.
Thanks!

  • Even Typing lag? Please save my Macbook!

    Efficiency matters. And the super slow Macbook Pro is dragging me down
    Typing lag?
    Chrome browsing lag?
    not to mention Photoshop, After Effects and Xcode.
    (i don't dare opening MS Word, toooo slow)
    I tried MacBooster and it didn't really help.
    Usually I just open these softwares: Chrome, Evernote, EUdict, Flux
    But even this setting could lag from time to time. (Already the minimum amount of app I could open)
    What is the problem? What can I do? Should I upgrade my hardware?

    Hi cecilialee,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like OS X is running slowly. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Deleted a free version of  PDF Max after purchasing the pro version. That resulted in missing data on the pro version too. Please help

    Last week, I purchased the pro version of PDF Max and today deleted the free version since I am not using it anymore.
    I don't what happened or how, this also resulted in missing data on the pro version. I created loads of annotations and notes using the pro version. Now, all that's missing. I am using the word "missing" because I think the data (notes and annotations) is still there but its just not showing up in the app. Since, the size of the app did not change. It still is 1.24gb on iTunes. Can you guys please help me recover or should I say figure out a way to display the files on the app? Pretty please!

    I'm not familiar with the specific app, but generally speaking if the free and paid versions of an app are separate (i.e. not an in app purchase), what you are seeing will be the case. the only resolution I know of is if the vendor provides an account and stores the data online, or it integrates with something like DropBox. If not, once the old version is deleted, the data is pretty much gone.

  • Lateste update to my system resulted in my Word crashing on saving or closing documents.

    Yosemite has been working fine for me overall; however, yesterday there was an update to my system that resulted in my Word 365 crashing as soon as I try to save a document. Any suggestions other than getting rid of Word?

    I recently had to wipe my drive and use Time Machine to restore my accounts. No matter how small of a change I make, iWeb 3.0.3 crashes when I save (Problem Report shows up and asks me if I want to reset and I do). I checked the Domain.sites2 file and permissions are:
    system: R&W
    admin: R&W
    everyone: Read Only
    I just checked the permissions for Domain.sites2 in Time Machine before the restoration and found my user account in there as R&W. I suspect this might be the problem, but I'm not sure. Permissions are a spooky thing for me.
    Does anyone know of any solution? I use iWeb for my business and really cannot afford to not make changes.
    FYI, I checked console right after the crash and found these messages:

  • Browser zoom causes typing lag

    When using Outlook.com mail, my user noticed a typing lag. I reset IE, disabled all startup items, tried an external keyboard on this laptop, deleted the built in keyboard driver and let it redetect on reboot, tried Google Chrome as an alternate browser.
    No typing lag in any other app such as WordPad. I found that in IE or Chrome, 125% zoom was fine but as soon as I set it to 150%, the lag came back, that was the common denominator.

    Hi,
    This issue can be caused by video card and GPU acceleration.
    Please disable GPU acceleration in IE and Chrome, and if you have Graphic card software, please also disable the GPU acceleration on it to check the results.

  • When I'm on Facebook and I'm typing a post or comment, words seems to pop into my sentences that I did not type. Also certain words that I type ( ex: say I type the word begin, there will be the letter z in front of the letter b ).

    When I be on Facebook I always have a problem with my posting and comments. There is a tendency that when I'm typing two or three other words will pop into the sentence that I did not type. Also when there are words beginning with the letters I use for a word, the letter z pops in as the first ether. I experienced this problem with my original IPad and the same is going on with the replacement. Can someone here in the community tell me what is going on . It's driving me crazy. I. About to purchase some Holy Water for this possessed device.  Thank You

  • IC Webclient. Typing Lag

    How am I going to explain this?
    Ok there we go. Our users are complaining about CRM performance in specific there are complaining about typing lag. They are typing faster than what shows in IC webclient fields.
    I was wondering If any one has experienced this issue before, As I have exhausted all the performance enhancement opportunity with our system.
    IC webclient version is as follow:
    CRM 4.0
    Database Client Library     SQL_Server_8.00
    kernel release   = 640
    compiled on      = NT 5.0 2195 Service Pack 4 x86 MS VC++ 13.10
    compile time     = Oct 29 2006 19:35:01
    patch number     = 155
    source id        = 0.155

    Calling Markus and all the gurus who have helped me in past.
    I have upgraded the frontend PC's for more memory.
    Database and CI has been tuned as per early watch report.
    But still, typing lag is an issue. it takes few second to see what users are typing on the screen. Any suggestion?

  • A small but very irritating bug in Mail: after pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word such as "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.

    When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
    Any ideas?

    I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
    Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
    From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
    The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
    The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
    Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
    Other combinations FAIL
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
    Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
    Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
    Thanks.

  • Just installed iOS7 on iPhone 4.  Huge typing lag problem now.  Any fixes?  Apple please fix asap.

    I just installed iOS7 on my new iPhone 4.  Huge typing lag problem now.  Any fixes out there?  How do I uninstall this update.  The phone worked better without it.  Don't even like the new layout and icon design.
    Apple, please fix this now!!!

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • SSH shell typing lag when server's using wireless

    I've just setup initial archlinux installation, started opensshd with default setting without modifying any configuration.
    First I've enable netctl-auto to use wireless connection (11n 5Ghz) in archlinux, after that I've connected ssh shell using my 2 machines (1 wired, 1 wireless) and observed noticeable typing lags in remote shell regardless of connection client uses. As soon as I replace wireless network to wired one on archlinux those problem goes away completely.
    Suspected basic thing such as network load, or latency but there weren't significant differences between wired / wireless, not sure why only occurs when server uses wireless connection.
    May I possibly ask for some help to find out any clues?

    @Trilby - Interesting, actually there are more than 10 devices are connected via wireless to my router but in my case I haven't experienced any other perf drops other than this issue.
    @firecate53 - Thanks for suggestion. Before posting this I also tried Mosh with MobaXterm as client (client system is windows) which did not show any big differences. Cas of power saving I didn't thought in that way at all, will take a look.

  • Missing words creating PDF with Acrobat 7 (newly installed InDesign CS5)

    Since a few days I have some curiosity creating PDF files!
    Randomly the PDF output is missing whole words in the document but having spares in the right tracking for them in the document.
    It occurs that the missing words are subject to another font however not all words in this font are missing in the document.
    Also my printer tell's me if he's going to print the PDF (in this case a serial letter with pre-stamped addresses) his computer is breaking down completely and also printing hieroglyphs.
    This document was printed from MS Word 2003 with "Adobe PDF" as printer.
    I also use FreePDFXP, though the same error comes up.
    In addition I tried several settings for the PDF with no effect in the outcome.
    I am still working with Acrobat 7 (from CS2 suite) under WinXP Professional SP3 and hadn't any problems before installing my InDesign CS5 upgrade a few days ago.
    I only can assume that the problem is InDesign CS5 but cannot prove it.
    Anyone an idea on how to solve the problem?!
    I am really annoyed about this since for the pre-stamped letters I already paid money to the mail service and the need to be in the mail today - otherwise I am loosing several 100 Euros to the paper-bin).

    Thanks for your feedback.
    However I checked all the settings in the joboptions. All fonts are to be embedded (100%) and I also actively selected the fonts to be transferred.
    I am using TheSans from LucasFonts as Open Type.
    For my document I have SemiLight as standard style and Bold for accentuation.
    While the bold style will be printed in "bold only" lines, it is not printed in lines/paragraphs where also the SemiLight style is used.
    When I change color of the words in bold, the effect inverts and only the bold style words are displayed but not the SemiLight text!
    I have a second laptop with the same system and software configuration (Win XP Professional SP3; Acrobat 7), where the same document runs smoothly.
    That's why I assume, that it must be the Indesign CS5 upgrade causing trouble (it's the only new addition to the first laptop).
    Unfortunately Adobe has no answer here also.
    The only solution would be to adopt my documents for this effect and follow the logic of the machine instead of my mind...
    As we do so often since invention of computers...

  • Is there any way of creating typing shortcuts on iPad Air iOS8?  For example typing "wcybl" results in "will call you back later".

    IIs there any way of creating typing shortcuts on iPad. For example, "wcybl" when typed could result in "will call you back later"

    Follow Japib's directions then enter the shortcut like in the screenshot. Be sure to tap save.

  • Typing lag following Pages 5.2 update

    Pages is running so slowly I can’t use it for work. Sentences lag after I type them, sometimes for minutes. Also scrolling lags and skips, and the thumbnails pane is absolutely crazy - it shows overlapping pages, missing pages, etc. The problem seems to be slightly exacerbated in longer documents, but does not seem to affect Word, TextEdit, SublimeText, TeXShop, or other text editors. It is also exacerbated by the general slowness of the computer, which is coming up on five years old now, but the problem is definitely Pages-specific, definitely only started after the update, and it definitely making it totally unusable. I'd really appreciate any advice, even simple stuff.
    I've just upgraded to pages 5.2 (as part of the complete iWork update), on a mid-2009 Macbook Pro (running OS X 10.9.2), with a 2.23 GHz processor and 8 GB of RAM.
    Thanks so much!

    The problem is most probably software specific. I am running OSX 10.9.2 on a rMBP with 16gb or Ram, half a TB of free storage and a 2.6 i7 and typing in pages lags a lot! I was on the phone with apple support UK for over an hour yesterday and they did not have a solution for me but at least they are looking into it. The program was not sucking too much memory and the rest of the computer was running smoothly. The only problem was with typing in pages. The length of the document didn't seem to have a correlation, as opening a new document and filling it with dummy text of up to 3000 words did not cause it to lag, but rather the amount of time I've spent on a document. The technician asked me to disconnect pages from icloud as he thought it could be connected with the constant updating, but this didn't help either. We've tried creating a new user account, testing the document in safe boot, completely removing pages from the system and then reinstalling, removing any plug ins like Endnote's plugin etc but NOTHING helped. And the weird thing is that: it's only typing that's lagging, scrolling, adding graphics, copy pasting and ANY other function would work smoothly... unless you tried to type. Also, the exact same document would have no problem being edited in pages for icloud.
    I am surprised as to why there aren't any more people facing this problem allready.
    I will keep this post updated with any news from Apple Support.

  • Safari address bar typing lag / freeze

    I get a lag when typing in the Safari address bar since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite on my Macbook Pro 2013 Retina.
    I type 4 characters and it just freezes for a few seconds before catching up. This only happens in the Safari address bar, no other place in Safari and no other application on my computer.
    I deleted the cache, history, cookies, web data, etc.
    I reset the SMC and PRAM.
    I turned off all Smart Search Field helpers and Include Search Engine Suggestions in Safari Preferences.
    This fixed it for a day or so, then it returned.
    Nothing works.
    I assume it is searching through some type of cache to offer suggestions for the address bar and this is causing the lag.
    Suggestions welcome.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
