I use Ubuntu 11. When I open or create a Google document (.doc), I can't edit it but after a while I can. When I open it, it's "locked" and the keystrokes don't react. Anyone else seen this strange problem? The problem does not appear with MS Windows.

This problem happens to me sometimes on my Ubuntu (its a laptop). This usually happens as Google Docs is trying to establish a connection between your computer and Google's servers, so that whatever you type can be saved automatically.
It is "locked" as a safety measure in case a connection cannot be established fast enough and you are about to close the document that you have already been working on (i.e. added content).
