Like I say, there are other reports of this behavior floating around

reporting that there's no errant typing, no apparent software
conflicts, that it happens only every so often, etc.

Like you, I had trouble seaching for this. Out of curiousity, can you point
me to the other mentions of this behaviour? I'd really like to see what
they said. It might give me a spark for something to search for.


I can type a bit into the body of the e-mail, go to my browser, copy
10 paragraphs, paste, and BOOM. I can type a bit, copy two words from
a Notepad file, paste, BOOM. I can have an empty draft, copy whatever,
paste, BOOM. It can be the first e-mail of the day, or the 50th. It
can be with my cheapo Office Depot keyboard at home, or my MS Comfort
Curve keyboard at work. None of it seems to matter.


So, just to make sure, it only seems to happen on the first control-v in the
message. IOW, whatever is causing this, while random, isn't random beyond
the unsent message window.

You say the machine is 'clean'. So, that tells me that there is *no*
software installed on the system besides Office?
