K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
When I type in some text boxes, such as Facebook or YouTube comment boxes, the text takes ages (sometimes over a minute) to appear, one painstaking letter at a time.
In previous browsers I have found this to happen when the browser's built-in "check spelling as you type" option was enabled, but I can't seem to find any such option in K-meleon, and I'm fairly certain I haven't installed any spell-checking extensions.
Any idea what could be causing this?

What version of KM are you using and on which operating system? Is the problem with all text boxes or just those on a few site?

It's javascript. It also depends on your system specs.
I don't know how the hell the script that count left characters has been created, but each time you type a letter... you know... (EDIT: I was talking about youtube in this paragraph)
Facebook is the same, of course.
And if post a youtube comment is a pain... I don't recommend you to give a try to write at twitter any message. Even with the latest Opera, and one of the most standard compliant engines..., it is a pain in the ass.
I said lot of times, but AJAX, AJAX, AJAX, I hate AJAX.
Disable javascript before open a youtube comment page, for example, and you'll see the difference. BTW, if you do so, you won't be able to post a comment or do anything else :/.

Typing in text boxes is very slow.
