Thanks for your comments, Carlo.
It is interesting that all the occurrences of the problem have
happened to Margaret, none to me.
She insists that she was not deleting back to the error, as I
reported, but was locating the cursor prior to adding a missing letter.
I will keep you posted if we have further trouble.

Hi Ian,
I can't be entirely sure from your description, but it sounds to me
that you have come across the same bug that I posted about a couple of
weeks back. I have to dash off to shop for my Mum right now, but
please have a quick read of the series of emails with the title
"Mail.app highlighting after delete in OS X"
It is an issue that has also been troubling me for some months now,
and I have found others in the Apple support forums with the same
problem. I resorted in the end to posting a bug report to the Apple
support site. I have to run, but if this is the problem I'll be more
specific when I next have some computer time later today.
Cheers,
Carlo

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.
