What almost certainly happened is that you somehow managed to select
(highlight) all of the existing text before you looked down to type
the extra words. If you have any part of your text selected when you
type, what you type simply replaces the selected material - in this
case, all of your text. That is not a bug, but instead the way all
such applications work.
... and I have tried to restore the missing text with out success
There is a simple way: just use Edit | Undo: Typing (or Ctrl+Z) to
undo those two words and recover your previous text. But it may be
too late to do this if you have performed other actions in your
attempt to recover the earlier material. If you had typed more than a
couple of words you might want to copy that first, before undoing the
typing, so that you could then paste the additional text back where
it should have been.
is there a problem with the new up grade ?
No - at least, not as simple a bug as your description would suggest!
I trust this helps.
