Package: libcw Version: N/A; reported 2002-03-19 Severity: important I usually type between 60 and 80 words per minute. As I use cooledit to edit my LaTeX documents, I use it quite often. Sometimes, when I press a key in the main text edit widget in cooledit, it prints the previously-entered character (or, sometimes, the character before that) in place of the character which I pressed. This occurs consistently, although not at every keypress. Also, the problem happens most notably during inter-word spaces.
For example, the following is a sample of a quote which I typed in cooledit, and the version on the following line(s) is what I actually typed: ``I try to learanas much as I canabecause I know nnthini cocpared totwwat I need totknow.'' ``I try to learn as much as I can because I know nothing compared to what I need to know.'' As you can see, this is a very annoying problem, and manually fixing it after it occurs can become very time-consuming (especially when a (^H + char) combination inputs two ^H's).
