Lagging cursor in Word while using arrow keys
I have the same issue in word.
Smart Cursoring only solved problem when I have one document open. Once I open a second document, the problem persists.
Regards,
Seeing this post, I also tested. Only occurs if two or more Word documents are open.
For me, I want to clarify that when I press the arrow keys there is no delay in when the cursor starts moving across the line the of text. It's just that if I hold the arrow key down for more than a second, when I lift my finger off the key, the input cursor continues to move, sometimes up to a second afterwards and cannot be stopped. Doesn't sound bad, but it actually makes it very hard to edit documents.
I am using Microsoft Apps 365 enterprise 64 bit.
In Mac m1 laptops, search the Keyboard sensitivity option and adjust the 'keyboard repeat rate' and 'Delay until repeat' options to get your desired sensitivity in MS office.
zandvaki : I fixed the issue by removing Mendeley add-in. Options-> add-ins (Manage:Word Add-ins) -> uncheck Mendeley-1.19.8.dotm
zandvaki is anyone else using either mendeley or zotero plugins (or both)? I tried opening word in safe mode, and the lag doesn't seem to happen anymore. I wonder if it is due to one of these plugins.
- Yes, I am using Mendeley plugin. I have not tried disabling it yet, but next time I have a large Word file to edit I will try. I am sure that is problem based on all the comments here.
