I seem to be having an issue with my mac recently... Sometimes when I try to type, the mac beeps rudely at me and no text shows up. The only way I have found to solve this is to click off to another text field and then click back to the one I was on. I have found that this issue is only caused*when I use the mouse to navigate in a line of text or to another text box. When I use the arrow keys and tab to navigate text fields, no beeping occurs. Any idea what could be causing this? It is quite annoying to me!
Got a tip for us?

maybe that discussion helps as i suspect you are hiding "rapidowrite" or how its called now "presto"

a app called "plainview" also made keyboards beep , but should be solved with the update of that app
so as two can make the keyboard beep ....others might too , easy to find out which ones could make the mac beep when you press a key if you eliminate the ones you installed at the time when it started beeping or altered prefs of apps when it started
