Hi, I just re-compiled surf on a recent manjaro arch linux; However, text input has become too slow for productive use. Is the problem known? Any idea on how to solve it?
Hi, you should check your webkit2gtk version if it was installed using the package manager (for archlinux: pacman -Qi webkit2gtk). On webkit2gtk versions above 2.36.6 there is a bug which causes all kinds of problems in surf (http://lists.suckless.org/dev/2210/34979.html). If you are on the affected versions, you should try and either remove the webkit library as described in the thread above, or downgrade to a previous version of webkit2gtk, which you can find here (for archlinux): https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/w/webkit2gtk/ and see if your problem would go away.
