            Bug ID: 133137
           Summary: Frequent typos caused by cursor lagging behind what I
                    type in tabbed user interface
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: torsten at thediesels.net

Description:
I am a fast typist, and occasionally when I am typing too quickly my cursor
(the vertical bar) types what I just typed before typing what I had typed
previously. For example, 
A.
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
            |point of lag
B.
the quick br fownox jumps over the lazy dog
            |point of lag
where A is what I type and B is what appears on the screen. In a perfect world
no lag exists at all, but if there must be lag then the characters should be
inputted in the correct order. Depending on how fast I type (I average at about
40-50 wpm) It happens for 50% to 75% of all words that I type. 

After some investigation, it appears that this is a bug with the tabbed user
interface. No lag occurs in the standard toolbar user interface.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable tabbed user interface in writer.
2. Start typing. 
3.

Actual Results:
Word come out jumbled. here is a real selection from what I was typing. 
"It is good fro expostiory wirting, where the mian goal i nsot t oconvnice
smoeone of  smoehtign or t oinfulenc esomoene’s opiinonso r eomtions, but rate
hrto just tell tehm exactly..."

Expected Results:
I expected the words to come out in the right order. Here is what I was
expecting to be outputted:
"It is good for expository writing, where the main goal is not to convince
someone of something or to influence someone's opinions or emotions, but rather
to just tell them exactly..."


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Version: 6.4.3.2
Build ID: 1:6.4.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-NZ (en_NZ.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Resetting the UserProfile did fix it, after I saw that option in the bug report
it stopped lagging. It appears that it was that I had the tabbed user interface
enabled, and that was lagging it and causing the typos.
