This used to happen all the time in the original Board environment. I got used to using the highlight, copy, and paste functions of the mouse. This was particularly frustrating for me because I generally don't know how to write short posts. And of course, it's just when you think you have a finished text that everything disappears and is gone for good.

But it never happens now. Now my problem is the stupid touch pad. I'm a fast typer, and highlighting an entire page and erasing it happens in a flash, in the middle of a sentence in which I have all my concentration on what I'm trying to say instead of on every movement of my fingers. My thumb may rest even slightly on the touch pad, and, PRESTO, everything's gone.

And as I'm going on now, I'm almost wishing it does that now, because this post is again a longer post than I intended to write.
