having keyboard issues on this site only.

OK, I have been having strange keyboard issues on multiple computers.
I have two (I think windows xp) that the return does not work when typing a message, works with every other application I type on.

Then on my home computer(windows 7) I can type about a sentence then I have to type REALLY slow or it will not pick up all the key strokes. Again, only on this site. This issue might happen as soon as it does the first auto save. This recently started-maybe a two-three weeks. Cannot think of any changes on my end, did the site update recently? If I highlight something with the mouse it flickers and its hard so select.

I end up having to use Notepad or Word to type my posts then copy/paste
Anyone have any clues?

OK, so I logged off the site, this computer is normally logged on all the time. After logging back on I started typing and it was working fine, even after the auto save msg. It only started acting up after I hit the enter key. If there was a keyboard issue why is this site the only one it affects?

OK, I tred the enter ky on the numeric key ad and as you can tel by my sentence that it stated ctng up after hitting the return key.
Later on I will try a different keyboard.

No recent updates. And I wasn’t able to reproduce the problem.
Can we rule out the cat playing on the keyboard? :cool:

No animals, I am not around the house enough to be able to take care of them. Hell I can barely take care of myself. Just found out it also acts up if I click on the mouse.

Maybe an issue with the USB drivers, but it only affects this site.

Have you tried a different browser on that computer?

No, I am using IE 11 if that matters.

Just for fun, try Firefox or Chrome. Or if you're really desperate, this may actually work: Change or reset Internet Explorer settings - Windows Help - follow the reset steps. But be warned: you will lose all cookies, favorites, saved passwords, you name it. Within IE, it will be like you got a brand new computer with nothing on it.

OK, I am trying this with Chrome, lets see how it works after I hit enter.

So, I am now trying to thing of things to type and so far it looks like it might be working. Tried selecting text with the mouse and everything is working fine.

I might have to clear cookies or whatever in IE or start checking out Chrome.

I do not post much on other forums so I have no idea if the issue is on other forums or not but it is working at this time with Chrome.
Thanks for the suggestion spongebue.

I probably would not have tested it but I loaded google earth and it did not even give me the option not to install Chrome so Chrome installed.

OK, back with IE and checking out to see if the issue is still there.

Testig if y keyboard issue is still thre, t seems ie it is sll ctin up.

I will try clearing stuff to see if it helps and try later.

So now I cleared the web browser history.

Les seeif it works after clearing web brower tuff, nope till acting up after clearing stuff under internet options, seems tobe working a little better though. Highlighted text still flickers (not with Chrome)

I do not really want to reset explore at this time as it is not just IE that gets reset.

It should be - this is not a reformat of your computer, but it reverts everything done to IE since you first got it. IE is like it was "out of the box" but Windows and all your programs are still untouched.

Oh, I might have misread this note, but it does not make much since, I first read it as it would affect the desktop part of explorer.


Note

• When you change settings for Internet Explorer opened from Start, those changes also affect Internet Explorer in the desktop.
  

Yeah, that is really poorly worded. Maybe it has something to do with how Windows Explorer (when you browse files on your computer - holding down the windows key on your keyboard and pressing E will bring up the window I'm talking about) is very tightly integrated with IE. But that would only (possibly) affect the viewing of the files, not the files themselves.
