    I have StartIsBack installed but when I am typing on the keyboard sometimes the metro screen suddenly pops up and I find myself continuing to type in the search box! how do I stop this crap?

    I think this is triggered if I slightly touch the touchpad but I'm not sure.

    Please help me I am going nuts!
