| Aug 27, 2011 at 17:18 | comment | added | Vervious | Would this be off-topic now? It has almost nothing to do with computers themselves. | |
| Aug 27, 2011 at 17:00 | comment | added | Vervious | @Tom Wijsman agreed. | |

| Aug 27, 2011 at 0:14 | comment | added | MrWhite | I'm on WinXP 32bit. I've observed the issue in Chrome 13.0.782.215 and Opera 11.5. OK in Firefox 3.6. | |
| Aug 26, 2011 at 23:54 | comment | added | Vervious | Reproducible in Lion 10.7.2 beta Safari Version 5.1 (7534.48.3) and Chrome 15.0.861.0 canary and Firefox 6.0 release with Google Instant off. Probably a Google bug and off topic on SuperUser. | |

| Aug 26, 2011 at 22:52 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | Not reproducible in latest Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Opera on Windows 7 x64. | |

According to the different OSes and Browsers mentioned, this surely is a bug caused by Google.com. Report this at Google Support so that they can fix the bug, there is no way we can fix it for you...

| Aug 26, 2011 at 22:23 | comment | added | Vervious | So it doesn't happen with javascript off. I suspect that this is a bug. | |
| Aug 26, 2011 at 22:22 | comment | added | Vervious | Happens in Canary on my computer too, w/ google instant off. One thing I saw was that the first character I typed was ok (didn't move the cursor) but AS SOON AS the voice icon popped up (the microphone) the next time I typed the cursor got moved to the end. | |

| Aug 26, 2011 at 22:12 | comment | added | MrWhite | @Tom: Yes, same for me in Google Chrome as well. Regardless of what state the autocompletion is in. I did reinstall Chrome 12 a few weeks ago as it happens (now on Chrome 13) and have it set to default as far as I'm aware. | |
| Aug 26, 2011 at 21:43 | comment | added | osgx | @Tom Wijsman, no, we can. We can inject a userJS ;) | |
| Aug 26, 2011 at 21:34 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | @w3d: Consider voting the question up, so it gets more attention. My down vote will be reverted once one of you tries resetting and/or reinstalling the browser. If that doesn't work you might as well report a bug at Google or Opera because it's not something we can do anything about... | |
| Aug 26, 2011 at 21:30 | comment | added | MrWhite | Yes, I experience the same thing in Opera 11.5 having turned off Google Instant. The cursor jumps to the end having successfully typed a 'z' (or another letter) in the middle. This only happens immediately after having done a search, when you type the first character. Subsequent characters are OK. I have Opera set with default settings AFAIK. Where is "Autocomplete" settings? I have experimented with "Enable single-key shortcuts" (is this what you are referring to?) but it made no difference whether it was enabled or not. | |
