128658 - Typing in textarea really slow

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 141900

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Neil Marshall]

If I go to http://www.garagegames.com and write a message in the forums, it is
so increadibly slow.  I can type a sentence and watch it come in letter by
letter.  The more I type, the slower it gets.  At one point it was taking 2
seconds per keypress.

The funny thing is, is that I don't see any slowdown typing in this textarea. 
If I download the garage games html, I don't see any slow down.  If I download
the html, then upload it to my own server, I don't see any slow down in the
typing speed.  I also tried saving the page with the css and images and didn't
notice a slow down there either.  It only seems to be slow on their server.

In order to check it you're probably going to have to create a user account,
then go into the forums and try to compose a new message.

Build 2002030103

I'll attach the html file just in case.

dup of bug 128557?

The textarea is not in an iframe.  Of course I do notice that on the garage
games textarea the scrollbars have red arrows and in the textarea in bug 128557
 the arrows turn blue.  In this textarea, the scrollbar arrows are black.  Would
it have something to do with that?

This is also the case for Mac OSX build 2002020516. It's a real problem when working
on long pages on Wikipedia. 

If it's a *really* big textarea (like
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack/New_York_Times_stories&action=edit)
 the scrolling will take a really long time too. Though that may be OSX memory
management?

Was this recently fixed ? I dont seem to see it anymore in the testcase or the
site I included earlier. Reporter can you test the latest build at garagegames
and tell us if its fixed, it seems to require a signup. 
Using

Windows 2000 SP2

With build 2002032103 it seems to have been fixed.  Something tells me it was 
the patblt fix to do with the background image.

http://www.hel-guild.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi also seems fixed.

I'm still having this problem with build 2002040908 on OS X. This is a big problem.

Sure looks like it.

Linux RC2: Typing speed is very good, although the scroll problem mentioned is
still there (+ when you press enter and it starts scrolling, it doesn't update
what you type till the scrolling is done.)
