Dear all, Ever since I've upgraded to Mathematica 8, the interface presents a very strange behaviour; it becomes either unresponsive or misinterprets the keyboard, and is generally a bit sluggish. A typical example is that if I start typing a bit fast, the cursor jumps to a new line (*). Another example is I press the down key but the cursor goes up, repeatedly. I don't have these issues with the workbench, so it's restricted to the interface. Is there any I can do? Would upgrading to 8.0.1 fix things? This is becoming really impossible to work from the interface. Thank you in advance, Cheers, Chris * not an issue with the laptop's trackpad, I'm fairly sure. I haven't started to type differently since Mathematica 8.0.0. And clicking from the trackpad is disabled anyway.

I found it so bad that I dropped back to version 7. Fortunately, the problem has gone with 8.0.1. David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk

Thank you for the reply. I'll upgrade to 8.0.1 and keep my fingers crossed!

In 8.0.0 things just opened and you read them. With this version you become conscious of the wait. (thats on a Mac) Mike

I also do not understand why the Mathematica documentation loads so slowly. Mike
