[QUOTE="vicariousgeorge, post: 500393, member: 27241"] This is something that happens on a daily basis, and it is driving me insane. Whenever I go to a type field on OSX, every once in a while it will fail to notice the first key that I press. For example, let's say that I was on apple's website and decided that I wanted to navigate to "mac-forums.com." Easy enough, correct? Not so much. When I move the cursor to the address bar, there is a possibility that when I begin to enter the address, I will end up with "ac-forums.com," rather than "mac-forums.com." For some reason, the first keystroke is not recognized. Needless to say, this is very aggravating. I've done some troubleshooting, and here are my findings: * It is not application specific - at first, I thought it may have had something to do with Firefox. However, I've encountered the problem in iChat, Finder, and Spotlight search as well. * It is not hardware related - This happens on any key, so it is not a loose piece on the keyboard. * It is not a system resource issue - I have a C2D macbook, and 2GB of ram. Moreover, this occurs when I only have one application open. * It just started recently - I don't remember having this problem until fairly recently. There are a few applications that I have installed around the time this began: Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium, Handbrake, Roxio Toast 8, and Steermouse. Think any of these may be the problem? How can I fix this? This seems like one of those irritating issues that can only be resolved with a fresh installation of the OS. I may just wait it out until Leopard, and hopefully it will be fixed. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
