I seem to be having trouble in Apple Mail, the many shorthands start inserting and then stop, with either Mail moves into not responding mode or just frees up a short while.

Anyone else having this problem?

Regards, Jack


I have MacBool Pro, Intel, running 10.7.2

This is a long-standing, well known problem that's caused by a bug in WebKit related to the way they implement "Check Spelling While Typing".

The best work around is to set Mail's Composing preferences for "When to check spelling" to "Never". For other WebKit apps (like Safari), best to deselect Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Spelling While Typing.

See the bug I've reported on the WebKit site.

Thanks Evan,

Sorry, over the years, you’ve told me this more than once. I forgot.

Works prefectly when I do this.

Enjoy the festivities. Thanks again. Regards, Jack
