Missing Letters?

Post by Zambo »

I've been typing away today, and when I look up at what I've typed, there are several missing letters. Have rebooted PC and it now seems OK. Anyone else ever experienced that, or know what the problem might be?

No plug-in. It's fine now I've rebooted, just a bit odd. I would hit one key and the letter came up on screen, then I would hit another and nothing, so when I looked at a word I'd typed e.g Birmingham, it came up as Brmighm

Don't try trying Scunthorpe or you might have to give yourself a warning. :D


I've had this happen myself when there's a background process hogging all the resources. If so hit CTRL + SHIFT + ESC to take a quick look what's using what.

It does it all the time for me with Google.. because of the active search thing. It's supposed to be helpful but I find myself typing each search about 3 times before it doesn't fuck it up.

Other times I type what I want to search for and just as I press return the cunting thing adds extra words... again due to the predictive search. Piss off. I know what I'm searching for because I typed the bloody thing.

Have you recently lost a finger?
I might have done one - not sure but possible.
