Hi Sean, the reason why this happens is that Org uses (setq truncate-lines t) in order to keep tables and source code in the buffer in a shape nice to look at. If you type a long word near the right boundary of the window, Emacs in this case needs to scroll to keep visible what you type, and unfortunately it does not scroll back when the word wrapping happens. Here is how you can deasl with this (different options) 1. Use a wider Emacs window or a smaller value for fill-column. Then the word you are typing will generally fit into the window without scrolling. or 2. Use (setq org-startup-truncated nil) It is the useful to make yourself a function key to toggle the truncate-lines setting, so that you can turn it on when working in tables.
