    Hello Francesco

    Do you think a signal is being captured and fed into your laptop?

    Perhaps you might benefit with ferrites on the USB cable?

    Waiting to get some ferrites I tightly coiled up on itself the USB cable of the Flexcontrol and got rid of the spikes...and if I uncoil it and hold it in the air the spikes are worst and change with the orientation of the cable, I assume it just takes up signals as you suggested! I am not sure if the ferrites will add something, but will anyway compare them to coiling the cable on itself and let you know!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
