Key press delay
Mac OS 10.6.8 iMac 7,1 Fall 2007 SM 2.7.2 When I'm typing a message, either in answer to someone else's post or an original for me to post to the list, I frequently find the appearance of the letters on the screen lag the pressing of the keyboard keys by as much as 3 seconds. If I ignore that and keep typing, eventually the words will appear, but not smoothly, as in a word processor. I merely want to know why that is. Suggestions welcome. As one might guess, it hasn't happened to THIS post yet.

Can you have an activity monitor running while you are typing to see if the OS is off doing something else while the keystrokes wait in the buffer? I had a serious case of that a few years ago that we traced to a lot of extraneous re-paints.

Go figure... keith whaley I see that too, usually when typing a password;particularly when SM gives me an unsolicited prompt for my Master and I don't catch that the cursor has shifted to that dialog...like just now. I'm running the same same setup as you, 4G of RAM installed. Outside of the annoying (and long standing) random SM Master Password prompt bug, I generally chalk the keystroke lag up to processor overload...or USB arbitration. How many things have you got hooked up and active, and how much RAM do you have installed? You could always pull up Activity Monitor and give it a watch. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
