I don't manage to reproduce this, even in the User Guide. But I'm not a fast typist. > 2. (Unrelated?)

Or spending 55% of its time there, waiting for drawing to finish? Remember, "something's gotta give". We can switch off processEvents completely, then all keystrokes are eventually processed, but until that happens, the screen will look unfinished. As I understand these are the drawing glitches that processEvents was introduced to get rid of. If you want the screen to be up to date all the time, don't allow keystrokes in while drawing. Older LyX also silently drops keystrokes if you type too fast. Only, it is so much faster that that rarely happens. Perhaps we should work on 1.4 speed, then. Or should we switch off processEvents just for the Mac architecture? - Martin
