Not sure if I just report this as a bug or not?so I thought I'd come here and ask if this is happening to anyone else first.
When I start a new post (or when I start a reply to someone else's post) - everything is fine. I type and it appears immediately. However within ONE sentence, whatever I'm typing begins to delay more and more until I am experiencing a several second delay.
As an example:? The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
By the time I had pressed all the keys for that sentence, only "The quick b" has appeared.?

Obviously, the quick brown fox is too quick for the lazy dog. :) J

I see it now and then, but usually just for a short time. I'm pretty sure it depends on network delays between your computer and the site. A good test for me is about 30 minutes after school lets out, when all the kids get on the internet, as things tend to get real slow. Now, at 4:00 in the morning, things zip along nicely! I'm still on a limited bandwidth connection, so have gotten used to a lot of things like that.

I have been seeing it also.? For me it usually appears after the first 25 words or so and then continues for the entire post.
I just thought it might have been my keyboard or computer, but I guess not..

Scott, is this when writing on the group home (as I am now) or email? Likely the first. I am not seeing any trouble. At least not now and I don't recall a problem.
A further text: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. ?No problem.

?It happened to me a couple of years ago, but with everything I typed, including emails, not just groups.io. It did turn out to be my computer (and not the keyboard). I don't remember the details but at first I thought it was software-related. I did end up having to buy a new computer. So I was assuming it was just your computer.

p.s. I do wonder if it's a problem with the new editor, which I find very user-unfriendly and weird in general, if not downright buggy. Has anyone seen this problem before the new editor went live?

The only place I am having this problem is typing to send an email through 开云体育.

J,
p.s. I do wonder if it's a problem with the new editor, which I find very user-unfriendly and weird in general, if not downright buggy.
If you can describe a weirdness or quirk please add it to GMF's wiki page Message composition tips and tricks. Myself I'm much happier with the new editor.? A large part of that is because the Enter key is now a single line break rather than a paragraph break. But I also like the advanced toolbar and the ability to set fonts separately from format.
Has anyone seen this problem before the new editor went live?
I haven't noticed it in the new editor or old. But I don't often compose on site so if there is a time-of-day factor I might not be hitting "rush hour". Too, I have a pretty fast cable-modem connection so if round-trip time is a factor I'll probably not notice that either. Shal

But it happens when you are typing an email, not when you are on the groups.io site? It's implausible that your email program recognizes that you are planning to send a message to groups.io and screws up while you're typing then and only then, and not with all your emails. Is that what you're saying? ?

Shal, that issue with the Enter key causes problems elsewhere. For example, you can't block quote without block quoting the entire draft unless the place where you want to insert the text has a blank line before and after it. And to insert the blank line, you actually have to hit "return" twice, not once. The normal "undo edit" key in a browser doesn't work, and you instead have to click on the advanced toolbar and use the "undo" arrow from there. There's an issue with fonts that I haven't been able to isolate yet. And probably more. I would switch back to the old editor in a heartbeat.
I'll try to find time to add these to the wiki, or you can feel free to do it.

Sorry about the confusion J.? The only time this has happened was when I was responding to a message someone else had posted to the 开云体育 site.? I was logged into the 开云体育 site and sending a response to a message through my group in all 3 instances.? Once was Sunday afternoon about 1pm Mountain Time.? Another was 9pm Mountain time on Sunday night and then again on Monday about noon Mountain time.
All instances have been when I was on the 开云体育 site.? No where off the 开云体育 site through my two email?accounts?has this happened.

I'm seeing it on my Group's page whenever I'm starting or replying to a post. There isn't a problem with lag in any other way on my computer on any other site. As a matter of fact, as I got to the second sentence in this reply, the lag started up again.

My bet is still on the new editor. Shal, is there anything in groups.io that takes input from the user but doesn't use the editor? Something simple like typing a string into the search box? Scott, does it happen if you type a long phrase into the message search box?

J, My bet is still on the new editor. Shal, is there anything in
groups.io that takes input from the user but doesn't use the editor? If you go to the Preferences in your Account you can change your Post Preference from HTML to Plain Text. Then your Reply (or New Topic) composition box will be a plain text form control rather than an iframe from the TinyMCE editor. Something simple like typing a string into the search box? That, the edit box for your signature on your Subscription page, the description field when you create an event in the Calendar, the Description field when you edit a photo, a Paragraph field in a Database table. Undoubtedly some others. Something else that _does_ use the TinyMCE editor is Wiki page creation or editing (if in HTML format). That might be a useful double-check. Shal

That was not my point. This issue doesn't apply to me. I was surmising here that the lag problem reported by other people here may be caused by the new editor, and was guessing that could be tested if those people type some form of data entry on the site that does not go through the editor.

J, That was not my point. This issue doesn't apply to me. Instead of "you", read that as "one". I was surmising here that the lag problem reported by other people
here may be caused by the new editor, and was guessing that could be
tested if those people type some form of data entry on the site that
does not go through the editor. I understood that. I was assisting in that effort by listing places where one can enter text without using the new (TinyMCE) editor. In Plain Text mode the New Topic and Reply composition boxes are such places. In fact they are particularly good test cases as they are in the same page context as the new editor would be - a minimal difference comparison (very few differing conditions other than being the new editor or not).

There doesn't seem to be any lag typing in the search box. Out of curiosity, when did the new editor come into play? Lag didn't start on this reply until the 3rd sentence.

Yes, I at times have approved 2 messages and the first one will post right away and the second one will take about another 5-10 minutes to post.
