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.
