I can replicate this.

The delay happened every time, but after doing it about 30 times, I got the following in the log:

DEBUG - editableText.EditableText._hasCaretMoved (02:47:23.971) - MainThread (14292): Caret didn't move before timeout. Elapsed: 100 ms

It is a rather small delay, but it does seem to be there.

I'm using ESpeak, on alpha 21974 and 22006 (latest).

You don't even have to type; you can observe it with the blank.

With blanks, the same can be observed by pressing right arrow as well!

100 ms is a serious delay, and this happens in most textboxes.

@XLTechie, @gauravahir28, @SeanTolstoyevski are you still having this issue with NVDA 2024.1?

XLTechie commented 6 months ago

I can not seem to replicate this now on Windows 11, and recent alphas. However, original tests are on Windows 10, and I do not have current access to Windows 10. Therefore I don't trust my results as definitive for issue closure.

I still see a delay in windows 11 notepad! First try with up arrow, and then with left arrow, the delay could be observed! There isn't delay with up arrow though.
