Does your Macbook skip the first letter when typing?

Greetings, friend! Looks like this is your first time here. As such, we encourage you to subscribe to our site via RSS feed or by email so you can get updates as they happen. Thanks for stopping by!

I thought I might be going crazy, but it appears this is a known issue that has been going on for quite some time, as seen in this thread on the Apple Discussion boards.

Essentially what happens is that if you begin to type in a new text field (and it can be anything from a password prompt to a web form to a search field in Spotlight), the first character you type is ignored.

If you have had this happen to you also, let us know, and do as is suggested in the thread above: visit Apples feedback form and make them aware of it!

I am having this exact problem. Lost first letter when I enter a text box and start typing, I usually look up and it's lost the first letter. Even if I wait a second.

I hope a fix for this is coming in the update. That discussion forum link doesn't work.

My PowerBook G4 does skip 1st letter.
Mostly when waking up. Annoying.
