Good morning all.

This posting will get me into trouble, one way or another, but here goes. My wife has been complaining, on and off, for some weeks that our iMac core 2 duo has been playing up. She loses text intermittently when correcting typos in her outbound emails on the fly. This has never happened to me and, up till now, I have retained the right to have, if not express, a different opinion.

This morning I watched the screen as she attempted to correct a mis- spelled word by deleting back to and including the error. Momentarily the whole line turned blue and then instantly disappeared as she continued to hit Delete.

Any suggestions as to why this is happening will be gratefully received.

Hi Ian,

Does it happen if your wife just clicks on the misspelt word (to highlight it) and then hits delete?

She has not been highlighting mis-spelled words and retyping. I have obviously been delinquent in not explaining the advantages of this to her.

Why is she deleting more than just the missplet word?

        I should have written "by deleting its letters  back to"

What setting is selected for “Check spelling” in Mail > Preferences - Composing?

        "As I type"

Cheers,
Ronni
