Basically it occured while I was typing in abiword. When typing a lot, I would find the typing would move around the screen at times. Starting on a word would move some of the letters into the middle of another word. I thought it was at first the touch pad and I was typing it, but I could not see anything where I was hitting it. So it may be a different problem than what Mikus was seeing.. > paul > =--------------------- > paul fox, [email protected] > -- Stephen J Smoogen. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp.
