This will happen if you are not pressing hard enough on the pen, and it
is perceiving your writing stroke as a series of taps. This is especially
problematic in the notepad, where if it accidentally sees 5 taps (the
"Select All" command) and then a character, it will erase your document.
(I have not found an undo for this, either).

A little practice with the pen will give you a better feel for how hard
you need to press, and then this problem will go away. It took me about a
week before I was sufficiently used to the feel of the OmniGo to avoid
this problem.
