[19:20] hi [19:24] Last week I installed Lubuntu 16.04 (64bit) for an elder colleague of mine (Acer Aspire One 722 netbook, ex Win7). After receiving the device, there is at least one problem with a text box I can't understand. Could you help me? [19:25] maybe, what's the problem [19:25] A better description of the text box issue may help us to help you [19:26] It's an effect I got by using terminal before: When writing some words (Thunderbird etc.) , suddenly a small text box is visible with the last letter on the upper right corner of my desktop. [19:27] I assume this is a search box or something like that, perhaps a wrong shortcut. [19:28] I've got a screenshot of the complete desktop with this small box. [19:30] hey [19:33] Klausi69: Good, if you post a link to it, someone may recognize the issue [19:33] Is Dropbox ok? [19:34] http://picpaste.com ? [19:35] http://picpaste.com/2016-05-29-214536_1366x768_scrot-1WOfrVms.jpg [19:43] i [19:43] hi [19:44] hey n-iCe [19:52] Klausi69: That's what happens when the desktop is in focus and you type something. [19:53] Hm. But the text should appear in the selected window (here: TB), not in a different small box. I can't understand the goal. [19:54] The text box you are typing into somehow is losing focus [19:56] Klausi69: maybe your hand is touching the touchpad when writing [19:56] and if pointer is not above the window you have written, you lose focus [19:56] Or you are moving the cursor somewhere outside of the box where you are typing, yes [19:57] You mean this effect is a misuse of mine? This was my thought, too. I assumed an unwanted shortlink. [19:58] maybe you have to fine tune synaptics driver or something [19:58] so touchpad isn't so sensitive as is it now [19:59] i need my scren to stop flashing [19:59] glad i dont have epilepsy [19:59] Klausi69: What I normally do is after clicking into the text box where I want to type, I move the cursor to the other side of the box but not outside of it. [20:00] swift110: update your display driver? [20:01] Klausi69: That'd only apply if you have enabled focus-follows-mouse anyway. [20:02] krytarik: or if Klausi69 touches the touchpad when writing and it's too sensitive to get click by touch [20:02] Yeah, that too. [20:02] krytarik: I didn't change the default settings [20:05] AriMartti, how do I do that [20:08] I don't have any lubuntu near my hands :) [20:08] something like software and drivers [20:09] Perhaps I should deactivate touchpad temporarily. [20:10] do you have external mouse? [20:10] Yes [20:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [20:12] maybe you have touchpad button in your fn+f5 or something so [20:17] I would try "Disable touchpad while typing" on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse [20:17] Is this recommendable? [20:17] yup, it should work fine [20:18] maybe except it's a bit dangerous if you've got only touchpad [20:19] I use an external mouse [20:19] Oh, so you should be safe and sound. [20:19] Go ahead and tick that option. [20:20] Ok. This sounds good. I think this is a good hint. Thx a lot. [20:20] If you don't use touchpad at all you might as well disable it. [20:20] I did it, and I'm happy with it.
