When typing a password the cursor jumps to the left

On which platform do you have that problem?
You seem to be posting this with a iPone according to the user agent.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

When typing my password for opening my mac everything is normal until I type in any other field, then the keyboard sounds like an old typewriter and is exceedingly slow. Is there a software solution?

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.

When typing I will sometimes look at the document and find the curser moved and the typing is going on in a different area. How do I stop that curser movement?

After an update or installation, your MBP may take some time to index its files. Give it some time - but if you don't see any improvement, post here - you'll get an answer!

Why do my TOC subentry titles jump to the left margin?

As I select lower-level TOC entries (books and/or pages), the title jumps to the left margin (that is, the pane scrolls right). This renders all the surrounding entries illegible.
In the attached outdent_toc.gif, note the location of the "Add-on..." page entry, which is actually a 5th-level TOC entry, as shown in the margin_toc.gif picture, which is the result of scrolling back to the left.
This is a regression from RH X5.

I can only think either it is an upgrade thing (I'll look later) or something else in your project. This TOC is from a RH8 created project and, as you can see, it remains firmly left aligned. The end text of Book Four does not get kicked out to the left.
I did note you are not showing the default books. Relevant?

Why does the cursor jump from the Name box to the password box when logging in to Gmail?

When logging in to Gmail, I often (8/10) times find that while I am still typing the username, the cursor has jumped to the password box. The result is that part of the username is typed into the password box. I then have to click back onto the username box and re-enter the username.

Yes, this is very annoying!
I suspect a timing issue, that is, Google's scripts are still running for a while after the page is displayed and when the scripts see a non-blank value in the username, they moves the focus to the password ''even if you are in the midst of typing''.
If I wait a few seconds before I start typing in the username field, there's no problem. (I haven't experimented with the amount of time.)

The cursor jumps to the address bar while typing within a web screen. How do I fix this?

I will be typing within a page and the cursor will jump to the address bar, sometimes after typing just 1 letter. I will go back to where I am typing and it jumps again, repeatedly! This happened before and I don't remember how we resolved the issue. I just fixed an issue wit Firefox being slow to start by resetting it (like they recommend) and this cursor problem started right away, so I assume this is related to Firefox.

Hello truthwins, try '''disabling graphics hardware acceleration'''. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Thank you.

When I point and click, the cursor jumps into the wrong place. Help!

Dear Apple Community,
When I slide my cursor onto a selected item, it jumps away from that letter/number or selection when I click it.
It is OK if I remove my hand, but I like to rest my palm on the keyboard to avoid repetitive strain injury.
This never happened with my white Macbook. Is it something to do with metal magnetism?
Can you tell me how to fix it?
Thanks!
Louise

Hi,
Did you solve your problem? When I point my cursor to select some thing like text or a button on a web page the cursor jumps a bit so it's hard to zero in on the correct selection, it's so frustrating!

When typing in Adobe Muse CC vers6 the cursor sometimes deletes the characters after it

I'm editing text in type frames in Adobe Muse CC vers6 and sometimes the cursor deletes all the characters after its position, rather than enter new characters. Anybody else have this problem or a solution?

Hello,
Does it replace the characters after the cursor when you enter new character?
If the above happens, can you hit the "Insert" button in your keyboard and then see if that resolves the issue? Insert button does the exact same thing.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Input source frozen when typing into password fields in Safari

For the past few months, I have experienced a behavior in Safari and only in Safari, where as soon as I click into a password field, e.g. a password field in a registration form, OS X automatically changes my input source from my standard US keyboard to the German keyboard layout, which itself is annoying, but it even disables the ability to swap keyboard layputs so I cannot select other input types besides the already chosen German layout. This behavior only applies to password fields and as soon as the field is not selected anymore, everything is back to normal.
This is quite annoying and can't be random behavior. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have an explanation or solution to this? There doesn't seem to be an option in Safari to turn this behavior off. Thank you!

HI,
Try deleting the keychain.
First quit Safari. Now open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). Select Passwords on the left.
Delete any keychains for the sites where the input source changes.
Now open Safari. Navigate to a site you normally login to. Try typing in your user name and password. If all goes well, click Yes when prompted so a new keychain is created.

Mail writing: the cursor jumps in the middle of the word

While i am writing, it happens at random. It seems more frequent when i reply to a mail. The cursor usually jumps between the first and second letter when I am at the end of the word. So weird! Thanks for your help!

From the menu bar, select
Edit ▹ Substitutions
and uncheck all the options. Test. If the problem is resolved, you can experiment with re-enabling some of the options to further isolate the cause. You can change text replacements in the Text tab of the Keyboard preference pane.

When typing, my letters go all over the screen, just happens with Firefox.

After installing Firefox, when I type, the letters go all over the screen, instead of where I try to type them. I used to type without looking at the screen. Now I have to watch... my cursor disappears, and the letters I'm typing go into something I've previously typed correctly.
== When I installed Firefox, and it happens constantly.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Weird issue with Flash jumping to the left

http://www.ipofa.com/
On the home page (see link above), if you are using IE, when
you click on a link in the main navigation, the animation will
suddenly jump over to the left slightly which looks weird. It
almost appears as if there is another "layer" below it with another
instance of the animation running. Obviously this is not a huge
issue, but it is very strange and I was wondering if anyone has
come across this before and if there is anything that can be done
to fix it.
Thanks

If you have an access on the voice tab of your device, there are flash settings that you may try to configure under the regional tab. Personally speaking, I never heard of the same kind of problem before but I had a chance to join on a discussion regarding a call waiting/flash issue wherein the settings below fixes the issue:
Hook Flash Timer Min: 0.06
Hook Flash Timer Max: 0.2
Callee On Hook Delay: 0
CPC Delay: 0.5
CPC Duration: 0.1
Again , these settings fixes another issue so if it didn't work on your end, I guess the next best step is to try playing around the values on the said parameter. You may want to post your result here in case you got it working.
