typing problem
 
Whenever I reply with a post, my computer keyboard just won't allow me to type normally. I slows down so much that I have to type each letter so slowly. It seems to me the "auto save" function causes this - is there a way I can turn off the "auto save"? I post so seldom because of this problem.

when you start typing click the a/A above the message I have the same problem when I type on my newer laptop so annoying so I try to get my posts on the board when I'm on the older xp

I got smart the other day and decided I would like to type on the board in the "enhanced interface". After all It looked like it would be better and let me be more creative. NOT!!! I ended up with what you've got. I had to pound the keys to get any keys to type and most didn't type at all. I changed my settings back to the following. Logged out of QB. Turned my laptop (windows 8.1 non touchscreen, have had for a year) and when I turned everything off and logged back in, I was back to normal. The other format was just painful.

These are the settings that work on my laptop. Hope this fixes your problem.

thought it was just me and this old laptop! sometimes the keys don't seem to be working and sometimes it types in a column instead of a row. . . but only on QB!

This has been happening to me also. skipped a letter in each word. hummmmm I just clicked the A/A first before typing and it's not doing it anymore. Thanks

My problem is just a little different. When I type, the horizontal line will jump back into the middle of the sentence that I have just typed and start typing the words that I happen to be typing at the time. It is so annoying and don't know what is causing it. Also, as I am typing a red line will appear under the words that I am typing as if the word is misspelled. Has anyone had this problem?
