a couple of windows 7 niggles

hi all,
one of the most irritating things about windows and IE (and i had this in XP. too) is that when typing in a box just like this one the type will jump to wherever the mouse pointer is or above it and so if you have to look at the keyboard while typing you end up inserting text in text that is previously written. very annoying! is there a way to stop it? i use a laptop and a net book with a mouse pad but i am careful about keeping my chubby fingers away from it.
another thing with IE in windows 7 that is strange is that if i am looking for a phone number on a website (contact us page) the phone number does not display. fax numbers are fine and all other text, too. it does display for an instant after the page loads but it is way too fast to either dial or write down so one has to keep refreshing the page in order to record the number.
has any one else had problems such as these?
thanks in advance
FP
