The end of the nice GTK button

Related: If I type 'ha' for "Hacker News" in Safari's address bar on my iPhone, by the second letter it'll show "Hacker News". But if I'm too quick to hit "Go" on the keyboard, Safari instead searches DuckDuckGo for "ha".

The UI must update sooner than some underlying state; this bites me multiple times a day.

I was just thinking about how windows xp and old linux DEs (Gnome 2, KDE3) somehow felt snappier and now I'm wondering if the rise of multicore/multiprocessing is to blame. When the windowing stack is running in the same physical core as the kernel maybe it's harder for these things to become disconnected.

Mobile Safari didn't used to do that. I wanna say they introduced that bug a year or two ago. It annoys me constantly and it's worrisome that they haven't fixed it yet.
