Hmmm, I've had this happen even in Notepad.

I've had the same thing happen in Outlook. I'll be typing along then when I go back to proof what I've written, I sometimes find portions of my text in a completely different paragraph or line from where I intended. I haven't been able to figure out any pattern regarding when this occurs making it sort of random which is why I have never mentioned it on the list. I had a half-baked theory that I was inadvertently hitting some key on my Braille display that was causing the cursor to jump, but I just don't know. Are you using a Braille display when this text jumping happens to you? If anyone else has seen this behavior, I'd like to hear about your experience. Maybe we can figure out what's going on and report it to FS or whatever the heck they're calling themselves these days. <grin> Kimberly Sent from Kimber's iPad > On Jul 20, 2016, at 4:54 PM, wayne smith <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I need some of you big brains!
