cursor jumps to the previous position in the middle of typing

In the middle of typing one email, document, or other, the cursor (insertion point) will move somewhere else on the page - back in the middle of a preceding Word or the beginning of the article.  It happens all the time.  I tried to disable the mouse shows where to put my hands, all I think that would inadvertently affect another key.  Someone had this problem?

  • NB200 - cursor jumps around the screen while typing

    Hello

    When I type in MS Word or OpenOffice or any other text box on a Web site for example flushing prompt that identifies where the next word/character must be placed around the screen jumps.

  • Cursor jumps to the previous when lines typing or entering information in the worksheet

    When you enter information into a worksheet or by typing a document or email the position of the cursor suddenly moves in the middle of typing and inserts text in the wrong position or ceases the text input in the document. I tried to slow down the cursor down and it seems to have had little effect. The help of a USB keyboard and a mouse is good but the return to the use of the normal laptop, and I am facing the same problem. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A300 D - 13 X running Vista with windows Mail.

    I would say that there is a problem with your laptop keyboard? How old is it?

  • Cursor jumps across the screen.

    While trying to navigate around my screen with my mousepad to laptop, the cursor jumps randomly offline.

    • ex: when you try to click on the scroll bar (on a Web page) at the bottom of the page, the cursor jumps to the top of the page.
    • ex: on the desktop, I'll move the cursor over an icon, and the cursor will move to a random point on the screen and continue to move in the direction my finger, said that on a new path.
    • Sometimes, the slider works very well.
    • The problem occurs when you use any program.
    • I don't have the problem "while typing, my mouse moves and clicks on".
    • The movement is just a quick jump from point a to point b. (not rapidly moving around screen clicking everything)

  • When scrolling down using the touchpad, the cursor jumps to the back arrow

    Hi, could someone tell me why when I use my touchpad, I move the cursor over the arrow down to scroll down and sometimes the cursor jumps on the back button on the screen and goes back one screen and I lose what I'm getting?

    Thank you.  I understand.  I went to the mouse and then to the touchpad device settings and I was able to change.  They were called corner buttons.  They function as shortcuts to different things on each corner of the touchpad.  I disabled it.

  • When you write a sentence the cursor jumps at the beginning if I type too fast

    If I type too fast or even at a moderate speed my cursor jumps at the beginning or in another part of the sentence.  I type very slowly in order to complete a sentence.

    I'll guess that you are using a laptop with a touchpad? If Yes, go to control panel > mouse and then look for a tab that relates to your touch pad and then see if you can adjust the sensitivity. Chances are that you are hit while you type.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cursor jumps at the end of the text when you edit the item

    I use a Javascript function, toUpperCase() to convert input in a text field.  However, when users would like to change a piece of the data string in the text, the cursor changes a character only before jumping at the end of the text and continuing.  This function causes the worsening users.  How can I keep the cursor in the right place within the chain and use always toUpperCase without the cursor jumps at the end of the string?


    Thank you!

    the best way to test is to remove OnKeyUp = "this.value = this.value.toUpperCase (); ' then check if you still have the problem

    strange that the problem's there even when you replace OnKeyUp with onChange because the function must not be executed until the change is complete. Also replace OnKeyUp, onBlur

  • Why the cursor jumps in the name of the password box when you sign in to Gmail?

    When you connect to Gmail, I often (8/10) find that while I'm still typing the user name, the cursor is passed to the password box. The result is that the user name is inserted into the password field. I then have to click on the user name box and re-enter the user name.

    Yes, it's very annoying!

    I suspect a timing problem, otherwise said, Google scripts are still ongoing for a while after the page is displayed and when the scripts see a non-empty value, the user name, it moves the focus to the password even if you are in the middle of typing.

    If I wait a few seconds before you begin to type in the user name field, there is no problem. (I have not experienced the time).

  • Jump in the middle of an audio track streaming on various sites causes the stuttering and audio glitch

    Hello

    Please refer to this thread for support on the technical support of SoundCloud forums. The thread contains all relevant information, including videos of the screenshots problem and console, made by myself and others. https://www.soundcloudcommunity.com/SoundCloud/topics/skipping-to-the-middle-of-a-track-causes-stuttering-and-glitchy-audio-chrome-Firefox

    In short, when you try to move forward for streaming audio, there is a memory buffer/stuttering problem that prevents a correct reading of the track. This problem is confirmed on SoundCloud and Traxsource and other people in the support thread mentioned Mixcloud and other streaming sites. In other words, it is not the special streaming service fault or another.

    The problem does not occur in Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer or Chrome. Well, to clarify, when the issue was published on SoundCloud support forums, Chrome was having the same problem. However, they made a version a few days ago thrust, that fixed it.

    Here's my original on the SoundCloud support post (less), which has the relevant details. Note that we have updated both Flash and Firefox recently, so although I have mentioned earlier in my original post, everyone involved has since updated their browsers and Flash.

    From now on, the only solution for the problem is to go back to Firefox 40.0.2. Thanks for any help =)

    Matt

    Original message =.

    Jump in the middle of a track causes the stuttering and audio glitch (Firefox).

    I am running Windows 10 Pro.

    There seems to be a problem of caching that affect reading - I started noticing this problem three or four days ago. Previously, I could jump through my feeds at will, go straight until the middle of the tracks or mixes of listen seconds and determine if I liked the track. Now, I can't do it on Firefox 41.0.1. The problem is simply annoying on songs that are 3 or 4 minutes in length, as I must leave "cache" maybe ten seconds before jumping. Unfortunately, the problem is a game-breaker on mixtures which, for example, are 90 minutes long. If I jump to a point directly in the middle of the combination, nothing happens. The play button alternates between the 'Play' symbol and the symbol of 'Caching' ('... "), and so audio resumes, it is glitchy and consists of different parts of the track being played at the same time.

    I've eliminated my internet connection as the source of the problem by loading on board. On the edge of 20.10240.16384, the problem does not exist. I can scroll down to any mix of 2 hours in my stream, click on the middle of it, and the audio starts right up. No caching, without stuttering or glitching.

    I drove back Flash version 18 to see if it solved the problem in Firefox, but it did not. The problem persisted, so I re-updated to Flash 19.

    Yes, I understand how all versions and updates to work. I meant it as a generation of powder magazine. My bad.

    I consider this problem to be solved. Several different pre-release versions of Firefox have solved the problem; I have personally used both of them that work perfectly. A representative of Bugzilla stated that the patch will be integrated into Firefox 42, which will be released on 3 November.

  • When you type in a text field on a Web site, why the cursor jumps behind the already typed text?

    This problem only occurs when text is entered into a form on site (not in the address bar). The cursor jumps randomly a letter to the left, thus making it rather impossible entry.
