Im not sure what makes your laptop experience different then.
Could be the internet browser. Dunno.

that could be a possibility for sure to consider.

I've used different browsers but can't hurt to try
another one again. Thanks for the suggestion

@Bretrick, what are you using: a touchpad or a mouse?
Just wondering if what you are using is too sensitive and you might be inadvertently double-clicking.

I hate the touchpad. The control keys are bouncing things around like they're demented and I'm not touching anything. The screen dims down every few minutes for no discernable reason. Anyway, I'm starting to think that maybe I don't really need a computer.

Touch pad. That is not the issue. Sometimes when the like successfully appears, I return hours of even a day later and the like has disappeared.

That is strange.

I use a mouse. The touchpad is turned off in settings. I can rest my palms on it and nothing happens. A battery operated mouse costs very little and batteries last 2-3 months.

@Bretrick, this might be stating the obvious, but have you cleared out your cache?

I do that regularly. This is the only site I have this issue. I am on 2 other sites.
Others have mentioned they have the same issue.

I definitely have that issue. My cache is cleared every day. I use BleachBit and my browser is set to delete history etc every time I shut it down. It doesn't, of course, but BleachBit takes care of that.

I dont have that problem either. I use a mouse too. But I prefer a corded one.
I perch my laptop on my lap and use my chair arm as a mousepad.
When I drop my mouse I just haul it back up by the cord.

Have you contacted Matrix?

It's usually caused by poor Internet connection, as suggested in a previous reply.

When you get those horizontal lines that means your internet connection is lagging and some steps in the refresh can go incomplete depending on what needs to be done.

Its a sign that there is heavy traffic over your connection and that its waiting for a break in the action to be able to complete all steps. This may get interrupted and left in an incompleted state.
