My wife is experiencing a problem while typing an email: the characters
sometimes do not appear when she types them, but are delayed as much as
several seconds. Seamonkey is typically the only application she's
running. It happens several times week now. We're not sure when it
started, but likely some time this year.
We're both using SM 2.26 on similar Win XP machines. I rarely have it
happen to me. Does anyone have an idea about the cause and how to
fix it?
Is she really the only one with this problem? Well, maybe we'll get
lucky when we get new computers in a month or tow.
I have a similar experience on a pretty fast machine -- I can be
composing an email, and at random intervals SM suddenly stops
displaying what I type, then catches up after a couple of seconds and
goes back to normal (it remembers up to about 15-20 of the characters
I typed).
It reminds me of what happens if I'm watching a video when SM checks
mail -- the vid will freeze for a couple of seconds (audio continues)
and then resume (dropping all those frames).
With all the RAM and processing power I have on this Win7 machine, it
should be able to do two things at once, don'tcha think?
What happens if she sets SM not to check/download mail automatically?
I don't have my SM set to check mail automatically and it makes no
difference. I have this problem consistently and thought until now it
was a Windows service interfering somehow,as I've had other pauses or
lock ups when the cursor is rendered useless for a short period. Since
it all still works, I haven't complained. :) [Win7, 6GB DDR3, 640GB HDD]
