    Quirky/slow typing, pasting

    I have noticed that often I have to type slowly or the field will not "keep up." If you type too fast it will skip letters, and sometimes I have to hit a letter twice for it to accept. Happens only on this site, have not seen it on any other forums.

    Also, when pasting text, random "space" characters disappear, and I have to go back and edit to re-enter the spaces.

    Same things happens on my Windows Surface (IE 11). Typing now on work laptop, IE 8. Works perfectly.

    Although the issue is somewhat spordadic, I'll post if I run into the same issue w/IE 8. So far so good...

    Noticed that with IE11 on my machine as well. I have had to go to Chrome for work & it's working fine now.
    There's nothing more to see here, now move along...

    Try compatibility mode if you're using a late versi0n of IE.

    Or just stop using IE and use a real browser.

    I have been having these problems with my new computer. I thought it was the remote keyboard and laptop problem. Now that I went to Firefox the problem seems to have gone away.

    Still having this problem. I'm not computer savvy so I have no idea how to describe the problem any better than what has been said before, and I certainly do not know how to fix the problem on my end, if that is the issue.

    I occasionally have this issue with the Silk Browser on my Kindle Fire HDX, so it's not just a M$ browser issue.

    I noticed that the equivalent of an hourglass timer on the reply button you click on accompanies this slow, quirky typing...at least most of the time.
