Just started doing this! or are you new to this toilet! Trying to see if the thing has developed a problem or if it possibly was never any good.

Has it just started doing it! Maybe the problem is the pipe from the cistern. It may have been moved and is now too far into the toilet bowl and allowing the water to slowly enter the bowl. Unscrew it at the back of the bowl move it out to see if it makes any difference.

If it was always like that - as far as you know - then I would have said cistern too low and recommended raising it a couple of inches (makes a big difference).
But since you say it was all good, and now it isn't.then I don't know. There are good plumbers here somewhere that will help.

Something is blocking the cistern from releasing water at the correct rate

Thanks found the problem , have been using those blue cleaning tablets in the cylinder and after cleaning inside cylinder a thick piece of blue stuff came out when I flushed several times , probably the packaging that they say dissolves

Those blue things and some of the toilet cleaners that are in those cage things etc are really bad for blocking your loo. A Plumber's worst nightmare! If you want to put something in your cistern use the bleach type that stands in a container which has piercings in the top. I would rather just splash a drop of bleach in my loo, which I do last thing at night, and leave to soak. Also I noticed that a lot of the new loos don't have a really strong flush.you need to hold the button down for a few seconds when you flush rather than just push and walk away.seriously!

my new loo does that, i am pissed, there was a plumber on here that said the cisterns and the capacity of water they hold are not compatble with the amount the toilet bowl is designed for. some ratio thing. i have to make sure the push buton does not go below the cistern lid, so have to use palm of hand, if you mistakeningly use a finger and push the button all the way, the bowl emptys, wonderful, so yes no flush and walk away here either
