A similar bug I got using 1st Word Plus, though very seldom.
The last few typed keys are repeated several times on the
monitor, then the system crashes (two or three bombs, I don't
remember). I you notice the bug you have the chance to hurry
with the mouse into the menu bar and save the file to disk -
sometimes.
