I'm constantly losing control over the IDE. Sometimes after some series
of keypresses (I can't identify any particular precipitating conditions)
I lose control. The mouse only moves on the perimeter of the screen,
and does so erratically, random screens fly by me (mostly help), my
computer makes little clicking sounds, and I can't use the keyboard to
stop it. _Sometimes_ if I wait and am very still, everything will calm down
and I can type (only, stil can't use the mouse) an ALT-Q to get out.
If I then restart, everything is OK.

This is really aggravating since _sometimes_ the thing never allows me to
exit at all and I lose whatever I was editing. I have never had any problems
like this with any other computer program.

Has someone out there experienced this ? Can some *please* help me ?
Because I'd hate to have to go back to Quick C 2.0...

Thanks in advance.
