I find that when I am typing a block of text, usually with two fingers
and my head down (ie. not looking at the screen), often when i DO look
at what i have typed some of the later text seems to have been inserted
into prior text. I can either delete and re type at the end or
copy/paste. I am not the world's quickest typist and this slows me down
even more. It also occurs when a "proper" typist uses my machine.

Are possibly touching the touchpad at all while you type? This might be
moving the pointer and setting the insertion point elsewhere.
