Over Typing Issue Macbook 12

[Graham Carter]

Am on my 2nd macbook 12 now. 

 

 

 

My first was a gold 2016 model and my current is 2017 model.

 

On both laptops and on all versions of macos from Sierra to High Sierra have noticed that more often than not when you begin to type in any field in the safari browser, it glitches and constantly over types the first character until you physically click on the field you are typing in and then proceed to type. It doesn't happen in any other installed browsers and doesnt happen on the Macbook Pro either 

 

To summarise this seems to be an over Typing issue with Macbook 12 models within Safari.

Anyone else observed this behaviour?

Then use another browser? I don't see the issue here...

The issue is that it’s not supposed to be happening. 

 

Your like the doctor who tells you not to lift your arm if lifting your arm hurts.....

Are you 100% sure that it only happens in Safari? 

 

Does it happen with every key on the keyboard?

I had my suspicion that it was either a safari plugin, perhaps a background app or perhaps the fact that it wasn't running a clean install of the latest macOS.

 

Cut my losses and formatted and re-installed directly to macOS High Sierra... so far so good... still annoying not knowing the root cause, but then these kind of issues whatever the os can remain a mystery

Iv'e also noticed in my MacBook pro (13 inch early 2015 model) that I would be typing anywhere, didn't have to be safari, and the thing would become unresponsive for several seconds and then rapidly display the text that was long due. Not sure if it's similar to your issue or not.
