Every so often when I've been in WordWriter for about an hour, the keyboard will start slowly repeating the last 10 or so keys I've typed. After filling about a line and a half with this stuff, the machine will crash, twice: two or three bombs the first time, and ten the second. Has anyone else seen behavior like this? It's very intermittent, and I'm not sure what the problem could be; my first guess would be the keyboard chip running away with itself. I've never seen it happen anywhere but in WordWriter, but I spend 90% of my time there. The only thing I've ever done to the keyboard chip is remove it from its socket when I had a battery backup from MicroTime on it; that's no longer there. -- Rene P.S.

A similar bug I got using 1st Word Plus, though very seldom. The last few typed keys are repeated several times on the monitor, then the system crashes (two or three bombs, I don't remember). I you notice the bug you have the chance to hurry with the mouse into the menu bar and save the file to disk - sometimes.
