Text disappears typed into Google search box!

    Something weird is going on on my computer: text typed into google search field disappears either partially or completely. This especially happens when I just begin using my computer first on the new day. What could this be?

    Are you using FireFox by any chance?

    I've noticed on opera (maybe this is on IE as well), that if you use image search and the page with results is loading, if you type something in the search box before the page is fully loaded the content of the search box will revert to what you searched for as soon as the results are loaded.

    Wow, I realize this is a long sentence :cool:

    I didn't understand your problem. :confused: Can you show us any screenshoot or somthing? Did you try different browsers(try to clear you cookie too)? I use both Firefox and IE. I never had any problem like that! When i used to use Opera, it had some bugs in that version so i stopped using it. I don't think there is anything to do with google. :) ooo try to clean your spyware too.

    It's not something you can get a screen shot of, because it happens overtime. As I am writing text into the google search box in firefox, it appears to highlight and delete as I type it. I'll get anywhere between one and four letters typed, it'll highlight and disappear as I type it.

    If it helps, I'm using ubuntu 10.4, and for some reason slapping my keyboard (lightly!) seemed to help temporarily... I know, not reasonable, nor a good fix, but there it is... Maybe we all should just clean our keyboards out better or something?

    Its a Browser Bug think so!
    Sometimes Mozilla Browser will be too busy with a script and makes Partially responsive or unresponsive

    It happens to me quite often. Just press ctrl+shift+j to temporarily solve the problem without closing the browser.
