WebKit2 is terribly slow with keyboard input #35

Closed samdroid-apps closed 7 years ago

samdroid-apps commented 8 years ago

Tested on the login form of gmail and my school's LMS

When you type, there is a huge lag between you pressing the key and it being entered. Everything looks like it has the slow type effect going - all the key presses are spaced out 500ms.

The rest of the ui (eg. mousing over a dropdown menu in the LMS site) is very snappy. But not the typing. Is this our fault or is it a webkit bug?

Reproduced with WebKit 2.10.9 on Ubuntu 16.04, but today's security update to WebKit 2.12.5 has fixed it. If you no longer see it, then the issue can be closed.

Nobody else has reported it, and the new WebKit package fixed it, closing.
