Description norm.sc2 2018-01-09 10:34:52 UTC
Description:
If I click back within the present sentence to change or insert words or letters and then click at the end of the sentence to continue typing I find that after typing several words the text, suddenly, is being entered where the cursor has been left rather than at the end of the line I am typing. Very easy to go back and correct it and I try to remember to move cursor away from text to avoid this but keep forgetting.

Actual Results:  
Description above describes completely.

Expected Results:
After clicking at the end of a line of text and starting to type again I expect to be able to carry on typing without the text being entered suddenly being inserted and appearing where the cursor was left rather than continuing at the end of the present line.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Sounds really strange. Do you by any chance use a laptop with a touchpad? The thing you described usually happens to me, if I have tapping-as-a-click in the touchpad enabled and my hand accidentally brushes the touchpad.
