Default Trouble typing and losing messages

I am going to send you a message without correcting any words. I have been having trouble typing words, as letters will not all appear and I have to keep going back and correcting/adding th letters ta dn't appear. This seems to happen after the second sentence/line I type. It has become vry frustrating. Someimes it will auto correct itself, but usually I haeto go bac nd correct it myself.

The oter hingthatI otce s that the correction red lne comes up befor I have even fnished typin the word. I am not a bd typist, so I d not know why this is happening. Do youhave any toughts?

Also please note that this is he second message that I had to write about this because in typing the first message, the message just disappeared while tping it.

Sorry for this problem. I haven't experienced anything like it, so I'm of no help.

I've had strange things like that happen when I let my laptop sleep instead of turning it off. I am running Windows 8.1. My phone has done similar when I haven't turned it off for a while.

I've been having a problem with the letters coming up as I type them. Sometimes they are delayed by 3 or 4 letters. So if I stop, I don't know where I left off. I know I typed in those letters and they aren't there. Then they pop up. So frustrating and time consuming.

I was wondering about that P-BurgKay. I had trouble when I was first here with the typing being delayed and missing letters and someone told me to click on the A/A icon above the box on the left side. It fixed everything.

So happy to hear that there is a solution. Now the letters all come up instantly, like they should. Do you think I will remember what to do when they don't? Don't count on it.
