2. I also use landscape, for similar reasons. DU4 causes me a lot of problems.

I can't edit my original posts in DU4. There is no edit button on my OPs. I also cannot see the line I am typing as I type.

I no longer get predictive text at all, which used to save me a lot of time, and previously used phrasing no longer shows up as predictive text, so frequently used comments (like "K&R & thanks" ) have to be typed out. Since I can't touch type, that is awkward.

DU used to automatically capitalize "I" when it was meant as a pronoun, and used to add the apostrophe in contractions. Those conveniences are gone now.

Now I have to use extra clicks to find what used to be readily visible on DU3.

I have other issues with DU4 as well, but not being able to see the line I am typing makes typing difficult for me, so I don't want to expand this post.

I don't like DU4. I mostly use Skinner mode now, but the problems I have mentioned are still there in Skinner mode.
