Post title: Slow typing in Wf Pro3
WF Pro 3 (Latest build - updated and installed just last week). My system is : Windows 10, 64bit -DELL - latest system bought 3 months ago. I have seen the same problem even when I was using Windows 7. Even, as on today, I have seen the same problem. Yes, I used to occasionally communicate on this issue, but not received any solution. So, in order to keep moving, I devised my own solutions - they may look very amateurish, but they are effective and keeps the work progressing. In some Indian languages (e.g. Hindi, Marathi, Kannada etc., which are supported in Wf), sometimes 2-3 characters are combined to form one single character, and this is where the problem is. In segments without tags, typing is fast and OK if we type without any error. Once an error occurs and we delete some characters to make correction, then this problem occurs, and the combination of characters will not give correct output at all. Similar problem I face even when I type in English (when editing between tags). At that time, Notepad is the only option. And, sometimes, for no apparent reason, typing between tags can be very slow, which requires restarting the application.
As I mentioned, this problem I have not faced in Trados (right from Trados 6 up to Trados Studio 2017). Of course, Wf has many advantages vs. Trados.
