Thanks for confirming that - I've just realised why. If the website title has an underline in it, when you put this text into a gadget label, that underline means the next character becomes a keyboard shortcut. If, for example, you try to write a reply in a thread called something involving WA_RMBTrap, all attempts to type the letter R result in the current tab being reselected and nothing much else. Oops.

Try the site I was having fun with typing R on - http://www.utilitybase.com This isn't the worst example, but typing anything into the search box is slower than it should be. Typing into Google's search box is the speed it should be. My gui_window_redraw redraws the entire page, and gui_window_redraw_box draws immediately rather than offloading to the next refresh, which could be causing an issue. I'm still not entirely convinced I'm feeding the right values into content_redraw, so it may may well be a local implementation problem. > Have you tried turning knockout rendering on/off and seeing if it makes a > difference? I keep toggling that thing back and forth and can never tell the difference! I've just tried again, paying particular attention to typing and scrolling, and it seems marginally quicker on the setting I had it on originally: true. Chris
