I have been struggling with this cursor delay problem for over a year and have searched the forum for help to no avail. I updated to 2.0, started a fresh project, etc., but nothing solved the problem. It is very frustrating.
If there is some change I can make regarding the OS X settings for keyboard shortcuts or anything else, could you please spell it out? I am not using TypeIt4Me or similar software.
Please help me fix this. I depend on this software for writing and am just starting a new project.
Commiserations, but if you have a serious problem like this, I would recommend emailing tech support direct, rather than suffering for a year. In the meantime, it might help them if you tell them what model of computer you have, the amount of RAM and so forth, as well as the precise system software.
Given that this thread is years old, it is potentially not the same issue. There have been several important optimisations made to Scrivener since 2.0. The first thing to check is to make sure you are running the latest version. Use the main Scrivener menu and select “Check for Updates” (you may have to update twice depending upon your machine configuration; we had to split off into two versions ).
If you are up to date, then yes, please contact support directly. We do have some diagnostic steps you can run through and in my experience they tend to clear up about 3/4 of the cases we’ve had with typing lag. So it’s worth a shot.
