arthur - if you have the 'preview' checkbox checked, then when you press 'submit' SI creates a new web page with your spelling errors highlighted. But this has another effect - it caches the page, with all of those wonderful words, and you can use the 'back' and 'forward' functions on your browser to get them back if they disappear. You can use this periodically to 'save' what you have typed so far, even if you are not done. Some browsers (like IE4) also cache locally. So get in the habit of hitting 'submit' every paragraph or so, then 'edit' to get back to typing, and you will only stand to lose a few sentences at most. These are just temporary cache pages though, so they go away after a while, faster if there is a lot of traffic. But they seem to be stable for 15-20 minutes even if things are busy. I have had exactly the same problem as you with the touch pad, they can be very sensitive even to a bump on the side of the laptop. But I like the intuitive way they work, so I guess I prefer it to the 'blue button' or to trackballs (which get dirty and quit working).
