Does Vantage, the commercial version of McSink, have this problem?
I've been thinking about getting it, since McSink's performance is so
abysmal as to make it useless for actual text entry (it's still good
for text manipulation, though), but I don't want to spend the $54
MacConnection is asking and then get bitten by the same bug.

BTW, I tried going back to version 6.3b, but there are bugs there
which drive me batty, like the fact that when the window menus are
enabled the menu bar menu doesn't work; I also still found a text
lag, though not nearly as bad as version 6.5.
