There is another program running that steals focus,
the keystrokes go into the buffer for that program
if you are not multi-tasking, then you probably have spy or virus

This is my first attempt at a posting. So here goes:
While I am typing a new message, the words suddenly stop. If I am not
watching the screen and don't notice then I find I have typed a lot of
stuff
which does not appear. I then have to retype after positioning the mouse
cursor. It has just happened again while I was typing this message. Does
anyone have any ideas on the subject?
