Keyboard input handling glitched out for me (from firefox 70, linux, connecting from an academic network with a gigabit link so stuff like input latency isn't usually a big deal for us). Random key presses were dropped, some were repeated, it seemed to get stuck on the letter 's' regardless of what key I pressed after a while
- slowenough 7y agoThat sounds very annoying! I'll have a fix for that in future. I've found a work around is to clear the input field, click outside it, click back inside the empty field, and begin typing again. Regarding the lag it might be because the service is located in the US. I believe you might be in EU/UK. This small location difference seems insignificant and yet most content is served over geographically distributed servers, and BrowserGap paid version uses servers closest to you. I'm thinking of touring this "free internet cafe" version to other regions, because the lag caused to people outside the US is actually significant. If it's no trouble to you, you can add your email and approximate location to this form https://forms.gle/GHDCbDPUrTzB2pyV8 https://forms.gle/GHDCbDPUrTzB2pyV8 and I can let you know when the service is near you.
- slowenough 7y agoHi just letting you know I think I have fixed (at least a large part of) the typing glitch you reported 3 days ago. Please take a look. I tested in FF 70 on Windows.
