You have been subscribed to a public bug: When I write any text in Abiword, there is a slight lag before updating on my screen.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Abiword 2. Press any keys in rapid succession, for example 123. What happend: 1. 123 appear on screen, but with a slight lag. Instead of printing 1 then 2 then 3 at the pace I release the keys, the program lags for a split second and then print "123" as if it was in one stroke. It feels like the lag is somewhere around .5 seconds. What should happen: 1. The text 123 should appear without any lag, and at the time every single key is released. Using gedit, libreoffice or googleoffice (or any other program) I get the expected result. I noticed that the problem is less when not having the window maximized. For example: When pressing and holding the arrow key in maximized mode, the marker disappear until I release it, having traveled down the line without showing me how the marker jumps over the letters. When doing the same thing i a smaller sized window, the marker is visible the entire time, showing me how it jumps over the letters. This suggests that the problem might in some way be related to Unity.
