| 1249856 | 2011-12-21 02:25:00 | Strange things come my way but this is the strangest yet. After a successful install of the latest Safari on my XP SP3 system, this weird thing happens when I type something into (for example) a google search field. Every letter I type once gets duplicated x2. So the word "plus" gets rendered as "pplluuss". Go figure. Have I been hijacked by aliens from Arcturus? My keyboard settings are ok. Any ideas anyone please. Thanks! |

| 1249858 | 2011-12-21 07:54:00 | Thanks darkie. No, I only have this Logitech USB keyboard. This problem cannot be reproduced with any of the other main browsers. | braindead (1685) | ||
| 1249859 | 2012-02-20 23:19:00 | For those of you who may be haunted by the Safari double letter bug, here is my solution (for my system): The culprit was Keyscrambler, an anti-keylogging prog made by QFX Software. When Keyscrambler was active, the double-letter thing happened when typing into any Safari form fields. Disabling Keyscrambler solved the problem. I discovered this accidentally by going to XP's Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Keyboards, and looking at the driver details for my Logitec USB keyboard. The Keyscrambler driver was listed there so I thought there might be a connection. And there was. I see a number of Safari double-letter complaints on the web and your particular reason for this fault may be different to mine. I've notified QFX about the fault. |
