When I type with FireFox, it occasionally moes the cursor back a space without me doing aythin to do tht.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus I cnt moveth cursor back n my own. oe a,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firefox isn't as good as it's said to be.

No this is just a bug... I believe it has been fixed if you have the newest version. It had something to do with java.... I think? I just know that I can type fine in it, but if I play RS while typing on the forums it goes crazy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suggest downloading the newest version, of not only firefox, but of everything you have. Internet Explorer (even if you don't use it) windows, virii dictionaries, and spyware dictionaries.

OMG THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME!!! :shock:

 

 

 

i thought it was an april fools joke. :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

working now... :?

As far as we can tell this is simple a race condition in firefox's textbox code such that if the computer is at 100% CPU load the text cursors no longer moves properly. You can reproduce this bug by loading up ANY java applet that uses 100% cpu and then trying to type into the address bar or any of firefoxes windows. The reason only some people see this is people with very fast computer can play runescape without hitting 100% cpu. Write yourselves a simple test applet that uses several threads to thoroughly eat all the cpu and then you'll see it happening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So your current best bet is:

 

 

 

1) Update JAVA & Firefox, see if it helps

 

 

 

2) getting a faster computer or playing on low detail or turning off other programs you run in the background

 

 

 

3) Nag Jagex to make their code use less CPU.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the mean time, volunteers from all over the world will be working on a lot of stuff for Firefox, including trying to fix your problem :).

I don't think it is jagex's code, I think it deals something with java designed to take 100% cpu no matter... or so I have heard

Well, I'm not playing RuneScape right now, and it's working fine... Ok, thanks!

yeh i was wondering bout it but figured it had to do something with RS has it only happened when i played glad others had the same problem :D
