Q: Flashing Typing Cursor out of position when typing in mac mail.

Just recently when I type in mac mail and go back in to edit a bit of text already written the cursor is mis aligned.

The cursor is 1 to 2 characters out.

In other words if I try to put my cursor at the end of a word the cursor is 1 to 2 character to the left, becomes very awkward when moving around using arrow keys.

Any ideas?

iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Hi trentfromsa,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand that the cursor in Mail is not behaving as you would expect. To troubleshoot, I would first suggest forcing the Mail application to quit and test the cursor after opening Mail fresh.
