Q:
Why is TP so SLOW?
I have the same issue.
There are two reliable workarounds:
- Start by clicking in the gold field and use [tab] or [shift+tab] to move (respectively) forward or back.
- Alternatively, bring the cursor up from below the relevant field. Takes a little practice to do it without thinking about it and now I’m used to doing this as a matter of course.
Background: For reasons lost in the annals of time, someone decided to make fields work different in this UI than on the vast majority of websites: moving the cursor over the field changes the focus (instead of the typical behavior of requiring you to click in the field). That is topped by a visual glitch at certain resolutions where the actual field isn’t located where you think by looking at the graphics.
In other words, there’s a combination of a minor UI bug plus a non-standard interface, combining to create a huge annoyance.
Incidentally, this is different from the TP being slow — this is just the interface being so quirky as to seem unusable, without one of the above workarounds.
It isn’t every item either, I don’t know if it is just heavily traded items or something else, but it seems to happen more frequently on high volume items.
