Cursor doesn't keep up with typing speed

Processor: Power PC

I posted back in March about this issue and got some good responses, especially from John McGhie!! However, no one seemed to be able to get to the bottom of this. I've discovered recently that if the Toolbox is open and on the desktop while I'm typing the cursor will slow down considerably. And when I close the toolbox my cursor resumes its normal operation and can more than keep up with my typing speed. Not sure why this is, but this works every time. I now just have to open and close the toolbox while I type and i no longer keep it open on the desktop, which is a pain but it solves the problem. Hope this helps others with the same issue.

Yeah, it's a bug.

If we didn't tell you to close the toolbox at the time, I am very sorry.

I wish they would hurry up and fix this one...
