Magic Mouse 2 wipes text

I've an odd sort of problem. I'm typing into any sort of text field: MSWord, emailer, even this here discussion field. I put my hand onto the mouse and, just occasionally, the whole field, along with its text, vanishes. It seems to happen when I've moved my hand slightly leftwards as I've placed my hand on the mouse.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and does anyone know of a fix?

Can't say I've ever heard of the problem and there's no setting for the mouse to perform a delete.

You can try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally. That will sometimes fix anomalies.
