Wondering if anyone else is noticing this new behavior with the platform. I notice it most when typing in rich text fields. The field is responsive and works well for the first few hours of the day. Sometime around 9-12 pacific time the behavior changes. Here is what I am seeing. 

As I type the carat stops and then suddenly fills in the text and then stops etc. It reminds me of a buffer overflow. 

Closing all Quickbase browser windows and logging back on clears the problem. 

I use Firefox, ad-block plus and tampermonkey to tame the UI. Totally possible that is the cause, checking to see if anyone else is seeing this behavior?

I’ve experienced this too when I am having a heavy QB day. I use Firefox for my browser, I suspect it is caching QB activity and trying to keep up with me. I close down the browser and reopen, then things are better.

Because it is Firefox, I also suspect QB may not be optimized for how it caches, or something like that. The frustrating thing is on those heavy QB days, I don’t want to stop to reboot the browser.

    Hey Jim, checking with the team but this is not something I have heard or seen in our support and/or product feedback.  -Kelly

      Hey Jim, 

      I've had a chat with one of our PMs who had a closer look on our end and we aren't hearing reports of anything like this from other apps/accounts/users.

      Would it be possible for you to try using Quickbase for a day, without extensions? Then report back if the issue persists? 

      If it is still a problem, then we can look at submitting a support case so we can start investigating the root of the problem. 

      All the best! Maria Peralta | pronouns: she/her

          I may investigate further with developer tools. 

          Thanks for the confirmation. FF is starting to loose value for me except I love tampermonkey so I can fix the QB UI :)
