Noticed there was a similar bug reported for the MAC platform but found nothing under the Windows platform. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.New Message 2.Fill in the header 3.Type the message Actual Results: All works well except for the type rate. The type rate is about 1 second per character. Way too slow! Expected Results: Would expect to see the massage displayed at the same rate as the user types, as it does here. Other than being slightly aggrevating, everything else works as good as or better than expected. Excellent browser! Only problem noted is the type rate in the email portion of the program.

Is this a problem in Composer too? If so, it's a core editor bug, not a mailnews one.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Windows XP SP1 P4 1.6GHz 640 MB RAM I can replicate this behaviour in Composer and Browser as well, so I assume it is with the text engine that underlies all of the Mozilla components. I have experienced this behaviour since at least Mozilla 1.3. It also seems likely that these bugs are all the same: <A href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218975">218975</A> <A href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218748">218748</A> <A href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172053">172053</A> <A href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182150">182150</A> (This one is Mac OSX, may be unrelated) I think that this bug is the most well documented of that four: <A href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218975">218975</A> Here is how I reproduce the problem: 1. Open a compose window: CPU usage: 1% Available Mem: 400 MB 2. Start typing in the compose window. I hit keys as fast as I can, repetitively (not typing words). No matter how fast I type, the text onscreen keeps up with the speed at which I am typing. However, the CPU usage spikes to 100%. Memory usage is unchanged. 3. Wait for the CPU usage to return to 1%. 4.a. Start typing again. Now the text appears on the compose window at a _much_ slower rate than before. The text in the compose window lags my typing by a significant amount. 4.b. Alternatively, move the cursor to the middle of previously written text. Now if I start typing, the text in the compose window is _really_ slow. It definitely lags my typing. Note that this problem is definitely Mozilla specific. In MS Wordpad or MS Word I cannot get the CPU usage to rise above 50% and the text onscreen always keeps up with my typing, no matter how fast I hit keys.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
