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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    When I type the keyboard is in the way and I cannot see what I am typing. How do I fix this?

    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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Firefox highlights search boxes in light blue and I cannot see what I'm typing. How do I fix this?

    Recently firefox started highlighting the background color in search boxes/fields (ie. google) in a light blue color and I cannot see what I'm typing in the field. Please help.
    Thanks.

    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).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Can I see what is being looked at or used on my other devices

    Can I see what is being looked at or viewed on my other devices

    The parental controls are a more sensible solution, anyway.  You can restrict their activity without the need to spy on them.  They really are entitled to their privacy.

  • 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.
    "Configure Anti-Keylogging Settings" -> disable

  • 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.

  • Since I upgraded to IOS 8 whenever I use kensignton bluetooth keyboard iin any mail app it scrolls up whenever I type message and I cannot see what I am typing.  Is there a fix?

    Since IOS8 upgrades I have had problem with my iPad Air whenever i use kensington bluetooth keyboard (an older one) whenever I type in body of mail message.  It scrolls up so I cannot see what I am typiing.  this is true on comcast  connect app as well as mail app in iPad.  Problem does  not occur when i use keyboard in iPad air screen.  First occurred with IOS 8, then disapeared wth later IOS 8 update, but has returned with most recent IOS 8 fix.
    I have reset all settings, but problem persists.

    I suspect problem is related to older Kensington keypad, however, I did see on a Google discussion group that someone suggested some changing of settings on iPad.  Trouble is, I cannot find that group again.  Any thoughts?

  • Can I email photos w/o templates Iphoto provides? I used to be able to choose a few photos and email them. Now I have to work with these templates and can barely see what I'm writing!

    I used to be able to choose a few photos and email them. Now I have to work with these templates and often do no want to. Could someone tell me the process for choosing to send photos without the templates?
