I'm using SP2's TIP in undocked mode. Sometimes, I will be writing, and and I
get about halway to 3/4 across the writing space, and the TIP disappears and
inserts the text even before I'm done and when i'm in the middle of words.
The TIP usually adds another line of writing space as long as there is room
available, but it doesn't even do that. This has been happening a lot lately.
Sometimes, If I restart the computer, it helps and other times it doesn't.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this or what's wrong?

Thanks

RV

Sometimes I get caught by too. If I pause in writing and move the pen away
from the input panel, it goes missing. If I am just a bit more careful
about keeping the pen over the input panel and don't lift it too far away
from the screen (reach an area where the pen is not "talking" to the
digitizer), the TIP will hang around until I'm done with it.

Sharon,

I really don't think that's the problem in my case, becuase it still happens
even when I'm writing in cursive. My pen doesn't even have to lose contact
with the screen. As soon as I get to a certain point on the TIP it just
disappers.

Is this always on the same spot on the screen? If that's not the case, have
you tried changing the nib on the pen itself?

Have you checked Insert settings for the TIP? Perhaps bumping up the delay
will work better for you? Personally, I turn auto insert off and use the
Insert button.
