--- Comment #1 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
I just remembered another really weird error that occurred in the minutes
leading up to the crash.
I had inserted a clause into a sentence before an apostrophe, and all the words
appeared in the correct place, but all the spaces between the words had
appeared in front of the apostrophe, I noticed when I looked up at the screen.
Something like:
'What an idiot', she thought.
-->
'What an idiot.Ishoulddosomethingaboutit.       '
so I had to manually delete the excess spaces and insert them where I had typed
them originally:
'What an idiot.  I should do something about it.'

I hadn't noticed any excessive load on the machine, though it's possible it had
been busy.

I was astonished that such a result was possible. I can't imagine how keyboard
input is handled, to allow that as a possibility.  I've never seen it in any
program ever, before this.  But it had happened only a few minutes before the
crash.

It reminded me of a bug in Writer (which I think is now fixed), in which text
typed when the machine was under heavy load would be inserted in apparently
random order into the document.  But that applied to all characters, not just
the spaces.
