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.
I am experiencing the same issue not only in Writer, but also in Calc. Whenever the Tabbed UI is enabled typing feels really slow compared to the Standard Toolbar UI. As described by the OP the vertical bar is lagging behind, but I haven't yet seen that characters appear in a wrong order. (I'm not the fastest typist) In Calc there also happens to be a lag when switching to another cell with pressing [Enter] or [Tab], which is to some extent annoying.
