Bug ID: 133137
Summary: Frequent typos caused by cursor lagging behind what I
type in tabbed user interface
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I am a fast typist, and occasionally when I am typing too quickly my cursor
(the vertical bar) types what I just typed before typing what I had typed
previously. For example,
A.
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
|point of lag
B.
the quick br fownox jumps over the lazy dog
|point of lag
where A is what I type and B is what appears on the screen. In a perfect world
no lag exists at all, but if there must be lag then the characters should be
inputted in the correct order. Depending on how fast I type (I average at about
40-50 wpm) It happens for 50% to 75% of all words that I type.
After some investigation, it appears that this is a bug with the tabbed user
interface. No lag occurs in the standard toolbar user interface.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable tabbed user interface in writer.
2. Start typing.
3.
Actual Results:
Word come out jumbled. here is a real selection from what I was typing.
"It is good fro expostiory wirting, where the mian goal i nsot t oconvnice
smoeone of smoehtign or t oinfulenc esomoene’s opiinonso r eomtions, but rate
hrto just tell tehm exactly..."
Expected Results:
I expected the words to come out in the right order. Here is what I was
expecting to be outputted:
"It is good for expository writing, where the main goal is not to convince
someone of something or to influence someone's opinions or emotions, but rather
to just tell them exactly..."
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Version: 6.4.3.2
Build ID: 1:6.4.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-NZ (en_NZ.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded
Resetting the UserProfile did fix it, after I saw that option in the bug report
it stopped lagging. It appears that it was that I had the tabbed user interface
enabled, and that was lagging it and causing the typos.
