Typing suddenly deletes itself
Sometimes when I'm typing a message on PPRuNe or my e-mail, the words will suddenly and inexplicably delete. Can't see any reason why. Is there a key I'm inadvertantly touching that causes this?

Maybe you're on the watch list mr goudie and your inflammatory words deleted by the 'Pre-Crime' department
Btw when typing longer posts it's eminently advisable to type it first in a note and when happy cut and paste as advised by mr crun.

SHJ I ain't sayin 'nuffin!!
Quite a few examples of similar problems when Googled, with a myriad of possible solutions.
Discovered the 'ctrl z' brings it back but no idea why it disappears in the first place.
However, many thanks for your advice.

BOAC, no it isn't. I'm currently typing this in the pprune message box, on a ASUS notebook. As I type, I rest the heels of my hands on the corners of the keyboard and I don't appear to touch anything other than the appropriate key.
I've actually typed up some text then deliberately pressed all the keys and touch pad but cannot simulate a deletion.
Ctrl-z seems to be the answer to recovery.
