HELP! Blue cursor.
Occasionally when writing a post, a blue cursor appears on the screen that wipes out any letter ahead of it. This makes correcting any passage a right pain, as it all needs to be re-written.
Does anyone either have this same problem, or (much better) knows how to get rid of the bloody thing?
I had the same problem, and my gay friend at work told me why. You accidently hit the the 'Insert' key, and looking at the keyboard, probably when you think you are hitting the backspace key.
I presume that's the key marked Ins. If that is the solution, I thank you. I suppose I would simply have to press it again. I didn't even know it was there!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!

DeleteHe is correct about the little Ins button. I know it's not relevant but I'm an omnivore and only love mucky ladies.
DeleteYes, press it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
DeleteIn the event that the above does not work, you can save whatever you are writing, close it, reopen and when reopened the issue will be gone.
ReplyDeleteI think I tried that, and it stayed!
