Text input fields deleting characters

Hello, we have some problems with input fields. In random softwares even in Finder sometimes happens to us that we write some text to search field and it deletes each character we write. You write for example "sample" but while writing it highlights the text you have and delets it with next letter. So you can write only one letter and it ends up with the last letter of word. So in the end you have not "sample" but "e". And even this last "e" is highlighted...


If it happens in one software only, it will be probably problem of that sw. But it happens randomly even in Finder. It is not any rule, sometimes it is every time you write in text field, sometimes all day nothing.


Thanks for any answers.

Which keyboard and pointing device?


Try doing the same thing while in Safe Mode. Same problem? If it still happens in Safe Mode, I’ suspect something with your keyboard or mouse. Otherwise it is a software issue. In the latter case, Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.

Use the “additional text” button and paste the report into the text box.

Yes, we have never had problem like this before. Everything is up to date. I will write back with the safe mode try.

Yes please do.


But as @ Luis Sequeira1 suggested


To avoid the question / answer and question / answer scenerios


Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.
