Linux Mint 20 Text Disappears

Used my Linux Mint 20 Pc to post some text the other day and it disappeared. That supports the theory that it was not just a Windows 11 problem. Rather than wasting any more time with disappearing text, I'm going to retire from Free Republic. RIP.

Sounds like he made some postings to Free Republic that disappeared somehow or was perhaps removed without explanation nor notice.

Disappeared as in taken down by moderators?
Had nothing at all to do with using Linux.

Empty the trash. Resweat the els.
Check for carbon deposits.
Nds more NaCl liquor.

I’ve tried all the usual stuff.

Tell me every time you type "sudo" your brain doesn't earworm straight to Phil.

Tex is writing an opus citing Linux.

Linux's mascot is a penguin.

The old "Bloom County" comic strip had a penguin.

Whose name happened to be Opus.

Conspiracy! Conspiracy!

Disappearing text is the exact same excuse I use when I forget something important. “Sorry boss, I sent it in email. It must have been disappearing text...”

If it’s a laptop there’s a good chance you’re accidently skimming the touch pad with your thumb while typing. Depending on what you’re doing it may be highlighting all the text and then when you start typing it erases it. Try disabling the touch pad.

No! Wait! Don’t go! Come back! This is fun

I get it:

Text disappears, so
Tex disappears.

Very funny. Now go to your room, and don’t come out until we’re ready.

Groan! That and the penguin Opus! A riddle opus! I believe you are correct!
