Lenovo Password Manager problems with Outlook and Word 2010

One of my first hurdles with the Lenovo ThinkPad W510 was the most annoying bug that caused the mouse clicks to stop working within the text area on both Word and Outlook 2010. Let me explain. You are on Outlook, which is using Word as the email editor, and open a new mail message. You start typing your message and after you press the Enter key for the first time the mouse will not allow you to click within the text field any more. This means you cannot select text or even position the cursor in a different position. You also cannot right click. The only solution to this was to close Outlook and start it again, but as soon as you press Enter on any message, you're stuck again.
