When typing an email in Mail on aluminium Macbook I sometimes find I am typing into a single highlighted letter space that just keeps overtyping in the one space. No new text appears apart from the most recently typed single letter. I also have the much reported problem of entire blocks of text getting erased and overtyped which are then unrecoverable. This seems to happen no matter how careful I am to not touch the trackpad. There is no option to ignore accidental input on the system preferences. Sherry
Hi Sherry, When did this start happening and how old is the MacBook?
Go to software update (apple menu) and see if there is a firmware update available for your mac. I have a recollection of an update to fix an oversensitive scratchpad and/or keyboard issue (but I might be wrong).
Does it only happen with mail?

Hi Hamster47, Mackbook is new Aliminium one released at same time as 15" Macbook Pro last year. All updates up to date and yes - only happens in Mail. Haven't looked on Mac support site for fixes though, just on software update.
Thanks
Sherry
