This problem might happen when there are many contacts shown in the conversations view on the left. I had about 15 open when this happened. Once I narrowed this down to 2 open conversations, the problem stopped.
I have seen it happen when I enabled time-ago on messages. I will keep a lookout for it again. When it happens again, please open the browser console inspector window (F12 or CTRL-SHIFT-I) and take a screenshot of any JavaScript errors.
I think I found the reason. A recent change to intercept typing in order to automatically switch focus to textarea on the first keystroke is badly implemented by me. Removing it for now.
When this happened last week, I disabled time-ago but didn't see immediate improvement. I also inspected for JS errors while this happened but there was nothing of note in the console. This week things are running smoothly...perhaps because I'm closing conversation windows more quickly.
Thanks for feedback. In any case, I have removed the focus switching code in version 1.5.6 which is waiting for approval in chrome store.
Fixed in version 1.5.6
When I type a message in the "Type message" field, there is a significant delay before the text shows up in the textarea. The lag can be longer than 10 seconds. Sometimes the text doesn't appear at all without a click event in the textarea. I'm using v5.0.5 on a PC. This issue wasn't happening prior to this version.
