type a long (a short one will not trigger the bug usually) message and save to
the draft folder to re-edit later...

start writing, when you hit the auto-save character number there is a very
small pause, then it continues to write to flush the keyboard buffer, without
writing the character that trigger the auto-save (or the next one, cant
tell)...
the cursor will then jump back to the place where the auto-save was trigger and
it will place the last character typed before the auto-save was triggered

ex:
1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567880

it auto-saved in last 9 position and changed the 9 to 8

i can see the main windows status bar being update with something, something
about setting the sumary (its too fast to read well), so i assume its setting
the sumary info in the queue folder (is this really needed?, could speed up the
auto-save)

this verified in the lastest CVS version, but happens since the auto-save was
implemented (AFAIK)

this on a slow PC (486@160Mhz) so on a high speed computer may be hidden by the
CPU power (if i type slow the computer can auto-save before i can type the next
charather and so all is well)
also the spell check is active but turning it off doesnt seens to help
