Whenever I change my language to Japanese and type something and press SPACE BAR to show an option of kanji, the entire word disappears! I can only add Japanese if I write it on a notepad and copy/paste onto the forum message box.
I'm not sure if this is the same issue (explanation below), but something like that has been happening to me ever since the site was updated. And it's not just that. Below is a list of the issues I've had so far that I can recall.
Typing in Japanese
This doesn't happen every single time, but the times it doesn't are kind of rare. Basically, it stops recognizing whatever I'm typing as a word that I'm still typing as if I'd just pressed enter. It happens in a very short span of time. The only time I can type without that much of a struggle is when the words are very short and easy to type. Sometimes, you even get roman letters in the mix because of that. Let's see what happens when I try typing something?
What I'm trying to type (copy and pasted):
皆さんは「和紙」という言葉を知っていますか。和紙の「和」という字には色々な意味がありますが、その一つに「日本」「日本風」「日本製」という意味があります。
Example of what happens:
みんｎあさんは「和紙」という意味をしっていますｋあ。和紙の「和」という字にｈあ色々な意味がありますが、そｎお一つに「にほん」「にほん風」という意味があります。
(Yeah, it looks horrible.)
Oddly enough, I've just tried typing a sad face by typing "
", but it only appears after I press space bar twice and only for a split second. Then I'm left with ":
", which obviously includes one extra character I didn't even type to begin with. No matter how many times I try it, I get the same result.
EDIT: Ok, so I've noticed that the smileys do show up in my post. But I still can't see them before that if just I type them, which is confusing to say the least.
Highlighting text
Just now, I tried holding shift to highlight and delete a sentence with my keyboard, but the selection went crazy. Simply put, it decides to stop selecting things halfway through it, then starts unselecting everything until that point from the starting point and then selects whatever comes after it went crazy as usual. This happens all the time. For example, I just tried to copy the previous paragraph and here's what I got:
This has been happening to me as well ever since the site was updated. While there are times this doesn't happen, they're kind of rare. And it's n
Deleting text
It does some pretty crazy stuff sometimes when I hold backspace or del. It's a little more random, but after a few attempts, the cursor stopped deleting what I wanted and went all the way to the beginning of the quote above (without deleting anything). But I've already deleted part of the names I'm quoting several times trying to erase something else.
In fact, just pressing it once is sometimes enough. I highlighted part of the text to delete, then press del a single time, and after deleting that bit the cursor went to the beginning of RawrPK. So obviously, you start deleting the very thing you're quoting if you actually happen to be holding del. Sometimes, it also goes to other places, other than the beginning of the post, but that happens less often.
Another very annoying issue is that sometimes when I hold backspace, the cursor remains in the same place and doesn't delete anything at all.
