XPS M140 Trouble
I have a problem with my XPS 140. While typing at full speed during email sending, it will delete part of all that I have just finished typing, as a result of hitting the shift key to capitalize a sentence or other capitalization. It seems to quickly highlight and delete several sentences or most sentences, but why, I do not know? If i am typing in Word, of course, I can use the back arrow button, but i do not know how to do this in gmail. This is amazingly annoying; do you have any ideas or suggestions? They would be very much appreciated.

Split this into its own thread.

If I recall correctly, ctrl+z works in gmail.

Might be something as simple as while your typing, the palm of your hand hits the touch pad, which jumps the courser back to where ever your mouse is, and so I sometimes find myself typing in the middle of my previous sentences, or deleting stuff by accident, etc.

I have that problem a lot, too. Luckily, my new laptop has a button to disable the touchpad so I can type unmolested.
