[QUOTE="davids9317, post: 1864024, member: 405885"] Hello, my new (2 months old) MacBook Air has developed an issue. When I highlight text to type over it, the first letter (or two) of the newly typed text is highlighted and so is typed over and dissapears. If I haven't done a good job of describing it then this is what happens; 1) type the word APPLE 2) highlight the word APPLE 3) replace the word APPLE by typing the word MACINTOSH 4) APPLE disappears as I type (so far so good) 5) the computer erroneously highlights the letter M form MACINTOSH 6) M is replaced by the letter A shortening the word to ACINTOSH Does anyone know what causes this? I am running macOS Cataline 10.15.7 Thanks for your help, Dave [/QUOTE]
