I have the same problem in Windows Journal. It's annoying. I would like some warning that the text I am about to insert is going into cyberspace. It can't be that hard to warn someone about the impending text entry loss.

That is a problem with the TIP itself. Perhaps you could take it up in the Tablet PC group.

If the insertion point is not present, or not where you want it to be, no amount of mashing the keys on the keyboard will make the text appear.

When doing the same thing from the TIP, it throws the text into Cyberspace. This is especially painful after using the slow TIP to start with. This is a bug not a feature.
