Text Reverts Back to Start Mid-Sentence in Copilot, ChatGPT, and Canva


**When using Copilot, ChatGPT, Canva, and some other sites like, the text place keeps reverting back to the beginning
So when trying to type, for example, “Tell me about the evolution of the word psychiatry”,
it comes out as: “ypsychiatrthe word evolution ofthe l me about LTE” (depending on how fast I type seems to effect when the text place reverts to the start).

Reproduced every time I use Copilot, ChatGPT, or Canva

Expected result:
Normal text, that corresponds with the regular flow of my typing.

  • Turning off shields does not fix the issue.

Hyper-sensitive input: mouse and/or Trackpad, “gestures.” The Operating System gone nuts, trying to anticipate the user’s next actions, moves.

  • my guess

If that were the case, wouldn’t that happen in all textboxes (e.g., Google, DeepSeek, Qwen)? It’s a strange issue.

@talnelson

Your computing device? Because, the problem is likely to occur much more often on a laptop - the trackpad’s sensitivity, and the “flatter” keyboard keys with insufficient shock absorption (downward) and insufficient key spring, return (upward).

The base of the hand’s thumbs tend to graze the trackpad area - or are dry enough to elicit a reaction by the trackpad ← moving the cursor out of the stream of the typist’s focus and direction.

I’m using an external USB keyboard and mouse (so no trackpad in use). My Laptop serves more of the purpose of a desktop with a built-in monitor.
