[01:04] <n-iCe> hi
[15:53] <n-iCe> hi
[18:39] <tsimonq2> hello n-iCe
[18:44] <n-iCe> :)
[19:14] <Klausi69> Hello.
[19:20] <n-iCe> hi
[19:24] <Klausi69> 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] <n-iCe> maybe, what's the problem
[19:25] <genii> A better description of the text box issue may help us to help you
[19:26] <Klausi69> 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] <Klausi69> I assume this is a search box or something like that, perhaps a wrong shortcut.
[19:28] <Klausi69> I've got a screenshot of the complete desktop with this small box.
[19:30] <swift110> hey
[19:33] <genii> Klausi69: Good, if you post a link to it, someone may recognize the issue
[19:33] <Klausi69> Is Dropbox ok?
[19:34] <AriMartti> http://picpaste.com ?

[19:43] <n-iCe> hi
[19:44] <swift110> hey n-iCe
[19:52] <krytarik> Klausi69: That's what happens when the desktop is in focus and you type something.
[19:53] <Klausi69> 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] <genii> The text box you are typing into somehow is losing focus
[19:56] <AriMartti> Klausi69: maybe your hand is touching the touchpad when writing
[19:56] <AriMartti> and if pointer is not above the window you have written, you lose focus
[19:56] <genii> Or you are moving the cursor somewhere outside of the box where you are typing, yes
[19:57] <Klausi69> You mean this effect is a misuse of mine? This was my thought, too. I assumed an unwanted shortlink.
[19:58] <AriMartti> maybe you have to fine tune synaptics driver or something
[19:58] <AriMartti> so touchpad isn't so sensitive as is it now
[19:59] <swift110> i need my scren to stop flashing
[19:59] <swift110> glad i dont have epilepsy
[19:59] <genii> 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] <AriMartti> swift110: update your display driver?
[20:01] <krytarik> Klausi69: That'd only apply if you have enabled focus-follows-mouse anyway.
[20:02] <AriMartti> krytarik: or if Klausi69 touches the touchpad when writing and it's too sensitive to get click by touch
[20:02] <krytarik> Yeah, that too.
[20:02] <Klausi69> krytarik: I didn't change the default settings
[20:05] <swift110> AriMartti, how do I do that
[20:08] <AriMartti> I don't have any lubuntu near my hands :)
[20:08] <AriMartti> something like software and drivers
[20:09] <Klausi69> Perhaps I should deactivate touchpad temporarily.
[20:10] <AriMartti> do you have external mouse?
[20:10] <Klausi69>      Yes
[20:11] <AriMartti> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[20:12] <AriMartti> maybe you have touchpad button in your fn+f5 or something so
[20:17] <Klausi69> I would try "Disable touchpad while typing" on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse
[20:17] <Klausi69> Is this recommendable?
[20:17] <extinct_potato> yup, it should work fine
[20:18] <extinct_potato> maybe except it's a bit dangerous if you've got only touchpad
[20:19] <Klausi69> I use an external mouse
[20:19] <extinct_potato> Oh, so you should be safe and sound.
[20:19] <extinct_potato> Go ahead and tick that option.
[20:20] <Klausi69> Ok. This sounds good. I think this is a good hint. Thx a lot.
[20:20] <extinct_potato> If you don't use touchpad at all you might as well disable it.
[20:20] <extinct_potato> I did it, and I'm happy with it.
