That's certainly a possibility; however, I'm not touching the computer at all, and am pretty careful about touching the mouse's middle button. It seems that deleted text suddenly appears after a save or spellcheck, sometimes the same text in multiple locations, suggesting it may be happening by itself. I never see the text getting inserted, or the document scrolling to the insertion position, I just find it when I read through the document. -Dave

Random text pasting on Mac
I'm using LyX 1.6.8 on my MacBooks (OS X 10.6.6) and having a strange text corruption problem. Words and phrases that I've cut or copied magically reappear in other parts of my document. Sometimes they're neatly inserted into another sentence (difficult to spot), other times in the middle of a word (easier to spot with spellchecking). For example, a string like In other words might morph into Isome other text I cut elsewheren other words. I had a hunch that it might somehow be related to file saving, so I disabled the autosave feature, and the corruption seems to happen less frequently but it still occurs. I've also had the cursor randomly jump to another location in the text causing me to type into the wrong place. I've noticed the cursor jumping in other applications, but not the pasting problem - that seems specific to LyX. I'm using a multi-button mouse instead of the built-in trackpad, and I do try to be careful about stray mouse clicks that could inadvertently paste text. (I also use an external keyboard and a pair of external monitors on both MacBooks.) I've searched the web and various forums for this problem, but it's difficult to describe succinctly. If any other Mac users have experienced this or a similar problem, I'd appreciate hearing about it (hopefully with a solution). -Dave Bursik / bur...@cs.virginia.edu
