Question

How to stop a mouse clicking off browser/word

Jan 18, 2013 7:05PM PST

Hello,
I've noticed recently that when I'm typing an email, or something in word, after 30 seconds the curser seems to click off the space, and I can't type anything further. This is resolved by clicking back onto where I was typing, but it's getting quite frustrating, particularly when I'm writing a particularly long email! Does anyone know what could be causing this at all?

I'm on Windows 7 and the issue only seems to have been in the past week or so.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Oddly, as I type this in the "Create a new discussion" box, it isn't happening.

Many thanks
