Why does the text box "shake" when It type replies in Google Chrome? I think this has something to do with how the preview is live-rendering.

Question

I'm typing this so I can include a screenshot. When I type a reply that goes over one line long, the preview box tends to shake.  I'm not sure why it does this, but I think it may have to do with the preview mode and $\LaTeX$.  If I keep my reply text-only, there is no shaking but if I include an expression like $\dfrac{a}{b}$ then the preview box shakes because it re-renders the code after every character or word that is typed.

The same thing happens to me.  I usually just ignore it or wait for the box to stop shaking before I paste something.  It usually happens after I use the equation tool, or I just typed some $\LaTeX$

Yeah, it's the LaTeX. It happens to me also, it's probably the font.

No, it is loading the LaTeX every time you type

Why would it need to load if it's already loaded? ;o;

that's just the live preview its reloading your attachment after every word so that it keeps tabs correctly its just happens there's nothing you can really do about it

It's annoying for sure, especially because that distracts you with it moving up and down.

Mine does it, and it's super distracting. I hate when it takes my mind off what I was going to type

It is not just Chrome and I use a text editor at times so I can evade this issue.
