When my application is running in Debug mode I am seeing about 15-20 fps frame rate. Typing into a CEGUI::Editbox control often skips some characters here and there. It also happens at higher frame rates, but the problem is much worse at lower frame rates.
I've pursued this with OIS but that doesn't seem to be the issue.
If I create a text input control using a different GUI system (Navi Library), I get no skipped characters, even at low frame rates such as 15 fps.
Has anyone else seen the Editbox control skip input characters like this? Is there anything I can do to eliminate the problem, or troubleshoot it further?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not aware of any issues that would cause such behaviour. It definitely does sound like it is the injection that is getting missed as opposed to CEGUI discarding the input afterwards.
I will try to investigate, though am not certain as to how to recreate the required conditions. I am assuming this is on Windows? I do have a laptop that is not particularly powerful, though is running linux - which I think may affect the results of any tests I do.
I'll report back once I have done some testing (which will not be today, since today is CE's birthday
). In the mean time, if you get any other pertinent information, please add it to aid in testing.
And if anyone else can do any testing, that would be good too.

I'm on Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, using stock CEGUI 0.5.0b. I have a pretty powerful PC system with dual core cpu and 2.5gb RAM, and a Radeon X1950 Pro video card.
I'm attempting to do some code profiling with AMD CodeAnalyst. I will post some sort of results ASAP.
Here are some possibly relevant code snippets. First, the places that keystrokes are being injected into CEGUI:
Next, part of my GUI layout file that creates the window which I'm typing into, which is "ChatInput":

Here is some potentially interesting profiling information from CodeAnalyst, although I'm still trying to figure out how to interpret it. I did a "Time-base profile" while running my application and typing lots of characters very quickly into the CEGUI::Editbox for 30 seconds. Incidentally, I noticed that several characters were being skipped as I was typing, but that was expected of course.
First, a list of the number of time slices used by the various modules loaded on the system. Here is the first several:
Here's what OgreMain_d.dll shows:
Here's OgreGUIRenderer_d.dll:
And here's CEGUIBase_d.dll:
I'm not sure how to tell if something is wrong with these results. I'll be thinking about that...

Thanks!
Thanks also for posting the extra information. I do not immediately know what to make of the profile data - except perhaps that we spend a lot of time iterating over collections, although there's no surprise there!
I shall get a debug build running on Windows later and see if I can reproduce anything similar to the issue you're having - until I can do that suggesting a possible cause is kind of like just grabbing at straws and guessing, which is not the best way to proceed.
Watch this space, as they say...
CE.

I've done some testing with the Gui demo in the Ogre SDK on Windows - this was the only way I could think of testing this without having to make a real app of some kind.
I struggled terribly, but eventually managed to get it running slowly, at about 18 FPS - but was not able to reproduce the issue at all
If you have any concrete steps or minimal example that could be used to reproduce the issue reliably that would be great!

Thanks CE, I'm going to be out most of the day today but I will work on it tonight.
I've been thinking about this problem and I'm now concerned that my initial comparison with the Navi GUI library is not a valid comparison since Navi doesn't require me to inject keystrokes each frame into that GUI. I guess Navi must be creating another thread and doing the keyboard input processing separately from my program's main loop. So it's not surprising that Navi was able to process the keystrokes smoothly even when the application was at low frame rate.
So for now I am going to focus on trying to see if this is really a CEGUI issue at all. My plan is to implement a different GUI system (possibly betagui, for simplicity) that requires keyboard injections, making those inputs synchronous with my main program. Then I'll be able to see if the problem is related to CEGUI or my application's code.
I'll check back in here after I determine if the problem happens under betagui as well.

I looked through some code relating to the input injection, and can not see any way the issue is within CEGUI. Providing the injection call is made, the code to add the character to the editbox is eventually executed- and directly executed from the injection call; for inputs nothing is queued for later, all events are fully processed there and then.
I am of course very eager to discover where this issue originates, as it's bound to come up again at some point

Where does your 'bool ArcInputMgr::keyPressed(const OIS::KeyEvent& e)' get triggered? Is it called by an Ogre Framelistener? You are probably using unbuffered input, which might indeed cause input to get lost when typing quickly on lower framerates. Is there a way that you can try buffered input? That's why i ask where your events are being triggered.
Btw i think (haven't checked though) that Navi used buffered input too, cause that's more practical when it comes to GUIs i guess.

Check out my released snake game using Cegui!
My current status is that I'm still working on implementing BetaGUI. It's not as simple as it seems to implement into a working application that doesn't resemble the Ogre demo apps as the "documentation" (in the form of anecdotes here and there) covers many different versions of BetaGUI and most of it is out of date. It's also made more difficult by the fact that the code is purposely obscured and cryptical. Betajaen has a cruel sense of humor. 
Almost there though... I'll report back soon.
@Scriptkid:
Thanks for your followup, but I'm already using buffered keyboard inputs. I create my OIS::Keyboard from inside the ArcInputMgr::init() function as follows:
The ArcInputMgr class inherits the following base classes:
I don't actually use the Ogre frame listener method because I have my own main program loop, which updates each of my manager classes (including ArcInputMgr) manually each frame.

After a very frustrating time of integrating betagui into my application I've finally got a basic text input window working.
Unfortunately (for me), I've determined that the problem is probably not with CEGUI. I still don't know what the real problem is, but it must be within my application code, since I'm also dropping characters when doing text input into a betagui window.
Sorry to trouble you folks, and thanks for your prompt responses! Great to see you back in action CE.

If anyone's interested, I've fixed the problem. The culprit was my input handler functions returning false sometimes instead of always true, which is apparently what OIS requires, otherwise OIS throws out the remaining contents of the input buffer.
Here's a link to the relevant thread over at the OIS support forums, in case anyone's interested: http://www.wreckedgames.com/forum/index.php/topic,988.0.html
