If I have a braille display connected (HumanWare Brailliant BI in my case, although I spoke to a user of a baum display who also noticed this), in some rich text fields something causes Windows not to type the text in properly even though the keys seem to be registered fine. I know this is definitely happening in Wordpad, Skype, Tween, but notepad doesn't seem to be effected. I have attached 2 logs, one where I type in a text sentence without the display connected, and one where I do. In the second case I type it in multiple times and every time I get a slightly different result - once everything gets really mangled, another time it got typed fine and in another a space went missing. This was done in a blank wordpad file on Windows 8.1. The only way I found to avoid this is to type really slowly or disconnect the braille display when typing a lot, which is very inpractical.
