Description

A student of mine is having big trouble with newly installed NB 8.2 on a Macbook pro running with JDK 1.8.?  In the source editor, he can type a few characters then the cursor jumps around, very erratically. I think it's a keyboard lag issue, if he waits a half second between keypresses, it seems to be OK.  But it could be something else.  Are there any known configurations that cause bizarre keyboard behavior?  Anything else that I could check?  All other programs on his computer work fine.  TIA,
