I have actually narrowed it down now to at least one key combination that 
generates the error every time. Try this:

Create a new file (or use an existing one if you must, it always happens)
Make sure you are not in the first line (press enter a few times)
Press these keys:

<TAB>if<SPACE>(<SPACE><UPARROW><DOWNARROW>And then type anything here.

It starts typing in the wrong place. I know this is a strange sequence of
keypresses to make it happen, but it occurs due to many other things: mostly
it seems when you put a space at the end of a line, move somewhere else,
come back and type again. As I mentioned before, it also happens
occasionally when you go past the end of the screen. It also seems to appear
around brackets.

I have Intelligent C Indent turned OFF, so it is not a side effect of this.

It isn't really a major problem, just an annoyance, and I'm at least hoping
someone else can reproduce it to prove I am still sane.

Thanks

Brett
