Browser issue with constant refresh when typing in text field - browser

This is more of a computer question than a programming question and it I am posting in the wrong place, please let me know. My system is running Windows 8, 64bit. Regardless of which browser I use - IE or Chrome, every time I attempt to type something into a text field, the screen refreshes. I have also noticed that the refresh symbol starts to flash. I can get that to stop by pressing the ESC key, but then the screen goes blank. I have done a complete scan of my computer and found no viruses. Any ideas would be great appreciated as this is making things very difficult, including typing this message.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and that seemed to fix the problem.

The Godot Engine Editor's IDE/GUI seems to be slow and to ignore mouse interaction

I'm using Godot_v3.2.1-stable_win64.exe(current Godot version) on my Windows 10. When running a project everything seems to work fine but when using the actual IDE of the Godot engine it seems like the IDE screen doesn't update fluidly on every mouse interaction but like only every 5 seconds instead (as like FPS would be low).
So mostly on hovering or clicking something it would light up or be triggered after you clicked on some other thing elsewhere (which is stupid of course).
This makes it even impossible to hit a button sometimes in the IDE.
E.g. when renaming a file a Window/Box for renaming pops up but you do not see it, because the IDE screen isn't updated. So if you don't blindly click on the box (which you don't see) the option for renaming is lost, because the box closes when clicking anywhere else. See what I mean?
Thank you for listening. Have a great day.
This is a known issue. Try updating your graphics driver to the latest version provided by Intel (not your OEM).

can I be keylogged at pc lock-in?

I was opening my pc with a password and noticed that the letters of the keystrokes did not appear in the password-field. It made me suspicious if a key-logger 'snatched' my password.
Opening the pc with a password is a spine reaction, so I went back to check how much would be needed to miss a proper lock-in .. I'm sure enough to proceed to question you here.
Would I in the first place notice, if someone used a keylogger on me? Is letters not appearing in the text-field symptomatic for the use of a key-logger against me? If yes, do I have any chance of finding the key-logger to delete it from my pc?
I've written plenty of appropriate code (opengl + glfw) to suggest, that the keylogger would have to work as a service (added with administrator-credintials?) and be turned on at pc-start to do it's job, but I don't have a clue more than that.
letters of the keystrokes did not appear in the password-field
It could be a scenario; maybe the textbox was out of focus while you were trying to login. Because I beleive that keylogger won't hinder the keypress of a textbox.
According to my experience of getting hardware-input it would seem to be a slim case not to reveal it in a stelthy situation - you must be right.

Apostrophe/Quotation Not Working

This is kind of silly, but the answer is eluding me and the issue is driving me a bit bonkers. Every now and then Excel decides to not let me use ' and " properly, forcing me to press another key before it appears. The thing is, the only solution I can ever find to this problem is changing the keyboard layout. For this very reason, I only have US English as a keyboard option and yet Excel still pulls this prank on me. It's also only Excel doing it, I can type totally normally in web browsers as well as Word.
Is it possible I accidentally hit some setting or something? Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Eventually it just sort of goes away, but it might be days before that happens, so I'm thinking there must be a button I'm bumping on accident that is toggling this setting.

Eclipse: some keyboard's key suddenly stop working

I feel the need to understand why, while I'm working in eclipse, some keys stop working, especially backspace and del keys.
I have searched on the net and found that it is recognized as a bug: I often read that the problem is related to other applications.
So the best advice is to restart Eckipse. (???)
Someone should explain to the Eclipse's developers that it cannot stop working (or working bad) if some other application stops working or crashes.
ps. Now I'm working in Ubuntu, but I see that the problem is platform-independent.
If you use many keyboard layouts, you may have accidentally changed them by pressing alt+shift. If that's the case, pressing it again will restore it to the normal layout.

Dreamweaver Coding Hint won't go away

I've had this issue several times and usually I can just shut down the program and restart it. But this time I have a bunch of windows open and I don't want to restart Dreamweaver.
My problem is that Dreamweaver brought up a code hint, but the code hint box now won't go away. It just sits there floating in the middle of the page. It doesn't matter if I click to Preview or any other tab in Dreamweaver, it still just sits on top of everything.
I'm working on a Mac, Dreamweaver CC (cloud, fully updated). Anyone else have this problem???
This has been a HUGE PAIN for me as well! You can make the code hint disappear though by finishing out an element that is in the code hint box. For instance if the code hint box appears and you can see class in the drop down... create a <div class="xyz"> real quick and the code hit box will dissipate after you close the quotes on the class because you used an element in that box. As to why this continually happens on the Mac version I have no idea, but I hope they fix it soon!
It's a known bug since years as you can read here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7745689
Someone suggests as a workaround to set the Coding Hint delay to 0 (as said here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7745689#7745689) but for me, in Dreamweaver CC 2015 Windows fully updated via cloud app, this bug still occurs while I code JS files.
Awaiting for a final fix, I hope this suggestion can be useful for you on Mac. :)
