when typing letters or words suddenly disappear - cursor jumps to another place
Never had this problem on Win 7 but a friend complained about this happening to her on Win 10. I thought she was hitting a key combination to cause it, but now that I am using Win 10, I'm having the same issue. I'll be typing along and all of a sudden the last letter or letters disappear and the cursor goes some place else!! Very annoying. Sometimes the whole email disappears! I slowed down the keyboard and mouse settings but that didn't help. Any thoughts on this problem?? Thanks.

I've been paying attention to that and I don't think I'm hitting any odd keys to cause shortcut action. Is there a way to turn off shortcuts just to make sure??
Not that I am aware of. I do not do it much in Thunderbird, but all the time in Firefox. (same editor, Thunderbird uses the one built into Firefox)

in my case I press the alt key and then everything is keyboard shotcuts. messy, but my hand just keeps plonking on the alt key instead of the space bar

Okay, thanks anyway... will just have to get used to it.
