Bug Description
When typing (in terminal, abiword, etc) the cursor tracking the text sometimes does a visual backspace so ends up feeling a bit "jumpy" and makes it very difficult to type.
Video demonstrating issue here: http://
VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320]
Can attach any logs as needed, just let me know.
Running Xubuntu.
Quick follow-up, gathering replies w/ card specs from other testers and folks who reported on our G+ feed:
Laptop - ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 5870 - Useable, text input is very laggy.
AMD Athlon2 X2, Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphic card: too much lag when typing. Otherwise, display (fonts, icons, etc.), sound and mouse behavior are perfect.
Ati mobility Radeon 4000 family. Hp g42 notebook: At one point when i pressed a letter it printed on the screen only when the next was pressed. Same with back space and space.
