Typing in inspector fields, Unity loses keypresses

This is something that’s been happening to me forever in Unity, but I haven’t seen it mentioned elsewhere. If I’m typing somewhat quickly in the editor in an inspector field, it will sometimes miss keypresses. The most common is that it misses the very first letter I type in a field, or it doesn’t capitalize in the middle of a sentence when I press shift. I have to slowly press Shift, wait a bit, then press the letter every time I want a capital letter. Does this happen to everyone or am I just cursed?

Yes this happens to me all the time. If I had a pound for every time I look up and see the first letter missing, I wouldn’t need to work at all.

It only happens with large projects mind. On my i7 PC the editor is very responsive, although typing in fields is slow. On my i3 iMac my project is un-editable.
