Cursor jumping back when typing
 

Hello,
Has anyone here used a portable monitor with DisplayLink technology? I recently installed the DisplayLink Manager on my work MacBook, and I've noticed that when I type in Slack on the portable monitor, the cursor occasionally jumps back two characters. (This never happen on my other two monitors). Thanks!

Hello,
Can you please share more details I will need logfiles to check the feedback from the driver. For instructions on how to gather the logfiles please navigate to the following article How to report macOS issues to DisplayLink


And aslo for speedy support please send an email with the logfiles and detailed problem description to: technical-enquiries@synaptics.com

Display lag/refresh is the culprit
 

I have experienced this same thing but I learned that the cursor isn't actually jumping back, it's that the display periodically has a little bit of lag for some reason, and then catches up once there is "action happening" on that display. In my experience, this doesn't actually affect what is happening on that screen, but it can be jarring.

You're not using an external kbd & mouse by any change by Logitech are you..?

Same issue here. I have a Logitech K380 keyboard and Logitech M350 mouse with a M2 MacBook Air. Upon a pause in activity, the screen seems to reset to a display state that is approximately one second prior to the latest state until new activity is detected (e.g. the mouse is moved). Turning the mouse and kb off doesn't seem to alleviate the issue though.

Logitech had an issue with the Logi options plus software that caused this problem on mine. Also if you use the Logitech bolt adapter this happens.

Appreciate the help! I've never actually installed any Logitech software though. Not using the bolt adapter either - Bluetooth only. Perhaps it's a driver conflict?

I have the same issue:
- MacBook Air M2,
- macOS 14.1.2 (23B92)
- Anker 563 USB-C Docking Station (10-in-1),
- Apple Bluetooth-Keyboard Model A1314,
- Apple Bluetooth-Trackpad Model A1339,
- DisplayLink Manager 1.10.0 (Build 117)
- one screen attached: EIZO FlexScan EV2451

Same issue here. Sometimes it looks like the cursor jumps back, deleting text, and then forward again, and the text is again here.

I've got exactly the same issue. One screen connected to HDMI, another one to DisplayLink docking station. When I move browser/terminal to DL screen, whatever I type seems to disappear for a moment and then it comes back. supper annoying. It does not happen on HDMI screen (which is exactly of the same type).

I'm on version 1.10. on Mac.

It does not happen on visual studio code, just in chrome and terminal.

Any update on this please?

Also having the same issue.
Macbook Pro (M2)
Apple Magic Keyboard
LG external monitors using Displaylink Manager 1.10

For the last couple of weeks I've been noticing the cursor skipping back then forward when I type. It does register all of my inputs correctly despite the lag, but naturally as I'm looking at the screen when I type it's quite off-putting. I assumed it must be something to do with the keyboard, but when I actually found some time to test things I discovered that it does not happen on the Macbook screen, only on the external monitors. So weird.

Exactly the same annoying issue. Hope it will be fixed on the next release.

Displaylink Manager 1.10.0 (build 117)
MacBook Pro 14-inch 2021 - Sonoma 14.2.1
Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter
Dual Display AOC 22v2 1080p 75Hz
Logitech MX 3S mouse, USB receiver (Logi Bolt dongle)
Redragon k530 Pro keyboard, USB receiver (2.4 GHz)

Tried with different devices (wired, bluetooth) or no devices at all, same result.

for me it seems resolved on 1.10.1 (build 93)

Cursor jumping back while typing
 

Was there ever a resolution to this issue? It's started happening to me recently and it's very irritating.

MacBook Air M2
Apple Magic Keyboard
DisplayLink Manager 1.8.1

Thanks

Update: OK, I updated my DisplayLink Manager app to 1.11 and the problem seems to have been resolved. I'll post again if it recurs.
