#@$%#$ IE7!!!

OK, I nearly broke my desk slamming me fist into it. Is anyone else having IE 7 randomly navigate backwards? I'm sitting here composing a lengthy message and I suddenly hear the tell-tale "click" and it navigates backwards. I lose everything I typed. WTF?

Nope. Check for any coffee mugs encroaching on the space near your mouse's "back" button...

When I'm using my laptop, I occasionally brush my hand over mouse-pad thing and accidentally move the cursor while I'm still typing, but I haven't had any ghostly back button phenomena.

Could be the backspace key (if the focus moves away from the typing area for some reason). Or maybe some JS code that needs to be retested. :doh:

My wife was experiencing stuff like that on her Compaq laptop. On a whim, I disabled the built-in touch-pad thingy (since she didn't use it anyway) and all has been well ever since.

I think alt+backspace does that but I really have to be careful that my 5 button mouse doesn't do that to me.

Since you're on a desktop I can't say why (laptop I would assume bumping the touchpad), but it sounds like your form is losing focus and when you hit backspace... it hits the fan :P

You've nailed it. Every so often my entire desktop flickers and whatever window I'm currently on loses focus. It feels like the flicker you get while a service pack or updated driver is being installed. Ad aware comes out clean and Avast is running. I blame the recent comet.

I already dislike IE 7. Randomly, it keeps throwing exceptions and crashing. I won't give it another try until SP1 is released.

On my main desktop I have a dual monitor card. I toggle between turning the monitor off after 1 minute when I'm going to be away from the desk for any significant time, and Never for when I'm working. I notice that after toggling, I'll get a flicker on both monitors and lose focus, although it only happens when I make the power management change. Don't know if this is helpful, but thought I'd mention it just in case.

I had a similar problem (&Cancel button randomly gains focus) with an app I developed (VB2005), but I was able to code an "Are you sure?" work around. This issue only seems to occur on one desktop. It has a unique piece of hardware which I blame: a 'mini' keyboard with a PS/2 connector as opposed to a standard size USB keyboard.

i think i've noticed it randomly clicking on things that the mouse is merely hovering over. and, it seems to jump to the top of the Z order for no reason, too.

I've noticed that IE7 goes out of its way to steal the foreground state from other windows. Somebody at MS appears to not be playing by the rules, and they're dynamically changing the 'let other applications steal the foreground' setting so that they can do it. The problem's most prevalent during page downloads.
