Typing letter combination "ar" makes cursor jump to bottom of message.
When I'm composing an email, if I type the two letters a and r next to each other, e.g. clear or architect, the letter r and the cursor jump to the bottom of the email, below my signature. Have to delete the r and return to where I was typing and continue. Any ideas on how to fix this? TIA

Do you have the same issue in safe mode? Hold the shift key while starting Thunderbird.
It still does it, but seems to be more random. I just had several sentences typed to explain this behavior and happened to type the "ar" combination and the whole message disappeared, so it's not just happening in Thunderbird email composition. I've never noticed it anywhere else before now.
interestingly, the message box your typing in, in Firefox, is the same composer code as Thunderbird uses. The composer component being shared.
I can not however duplicate on Windows 7 Pro 64Bit in either product. Are you using a cordless keyboard and the battery is dying?
No I'm not, but I'm suspecting the keyboard too. I'll see if I can find a different one to try and let you know if that helps. Thanks for the assistance.
I haven't found any letter combinations that does this, but I blame my mouse-pad. Every time something like that happens my hand touches the mouse-pad. whatever writer i'm using. Using a usb-wireless mouse did not deactivate mouse-pad even if that was selected.
It went away when I used a separate keyboard (then I coudn't touch it by misstake.)
Not using a laptop, separate MS keyboard on a desktop system. Thanks for the suggestion though. That does mess me up on my laptop at home. FYI, other programs to not display this behavior, MS Word, etc.
