I neglected to note that I also saw similar behavior with another T580
I previously bought (& then returned when it proved to have hardware
defects). Combined with Daniel Wilkins' experience with a T480, this
suggests that this is a generic problem with Thinkpad T[45]80. Does
anyone have a T[45]80 who has *not* seen this problem?

that they watched everybody all the time." -- George Orwell, "1984"
