Why does Windows 7 have typing problems?

When i type on the internet or on games, I often open new tabs or open other problems, simply by typing.  Sometimes what I'm typing will get erased, filled in with something else, or just won't get typed at all.  I was told this is a Windows 7 bug.

    I am having this problem as well. It impedes any sort of fast or efficienct typing. I am constantly hitting ctrl-z to attempt to un-erase the text deleted. For some reason, it seems as if the cursor gets moved to a random location in the sentence. This then causes you to type over words. Any solution to this?

    I have the same problem that everyone is discussing but worse. I can't type more than roughly 30 characters without the cursor moving to another line or the beginning of the text. I definitely experience the most problems when I typing in anything google (searches, gmail, calander, etc.). I have W7 professional if that means anything regarding which make of W7 is experiencing the most problems.

    I'm most likely going to do a clean install with the disc I recently received, so if I have any luck with that I'll be sure to tell you all.

    Thanks,

    Scott
