Hello, I am new to Linux so perhaps my issue is just ‘user error’. I have trouble when typing in Open Office Writer, Kmail, and zim, among other applications. It’s not due to unintentional use of the ‘insert’ key, either.
When I type in these applications, the word I am typing often disappears entirely if I don’t add a space, return, or punctuation at the end of the word, or use the arrow keys. For example, when setting up a profile in Kmail, I typed my email address into the settings dialog box, and it kept removing the last part of the address: “myname@univ.edu” would always become “myname@univ.” unless I added a space after the edu.
When I first encountered this behavior, in Writer, I thought it was a bug with the AutoComplete feature. But now that I’ve seen it in other applications, I think it is something more general.
Any ideas of how to stop the unexpectedly deletion of words while typing?
I just got this computer last week, with Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11.0 alreay on it. I did try reinstalling from the OS Restore DVD but I still have the problem.
Hi
If it’s an HP system, you need to talk with them first, they should
help you get it sorted. Then in the future, you need to ask over in the
SLED forums at http://forums.novell.com as this forum is for openSUSE.
