cursor jumps

When you type, my cursor goes somewhere else, sometimes put text highlighting and deleting and tapping around where it lands.  It will add same email addresses when I didn't ask for him.  It seems to deteriorate.  In addition, the keys are very sensitive or very difficult to type sometimes.  For example, the word "the" almost always comes out "you."

Hello Suzie-C,

Since you're using an external mouse, the TouchPad of your laptop could very well be the root of the problem. To disable it, I recommend the rest of this paper on the use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad (Windows 8). This should help prevent any erratic movement of the cursor on the screen.

In order to exclude the mouse you are using, this activity happens when using the TouchPad?

Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!

  • Cursor jump - is NOT a problem of keyboard!

    Windows 8. My mouse jumps at the beginning of almost all fields of text every few seconds. Note that this is not random jumping - the cursor jumps only at the beginning of the field. I say "almost all" because this forum post is the first I've found where it does not. The problem never happens offline programs, the toolbar or login form fields. Only the fields of text in Firefox. Cannot duplicate in Chrome. I was typing stuff in my word processor and then copy and paste to get anything done on my blog or email. Restarted my computer, and then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No improvement. I tested and is not remotely to a keyboard problem, such as cursor more jump.

  • Qosmio G20: cursor jumps typing the letter

    Hi everyone, my Qosmio G20 gives me headaches! When I try to type a letter or article suddenly the cursor jumps back lines and I find myself typing in the middle of a previous sentence. Then sometimes it just deletes a paragraph I just typed.
    Any suggestions as to why? And more importantly on how to behave?
    I would be happy to advice.

    Thank you.
    Ronnie

    Yes, it's because of the touchpad. To disable and enter in peace, just press Fn + F9. This will temporarily disable the touchpad. When you are finished typing, press Fn + F9 again, it will re-enable the touchpad.

  • Satellite P300 - cursor jumps back

    Hello

    I have a Satallite P300 - 19 p and when I type after some works the cursur jumps to a place randomly in the text that I write. Is very annoying because I have to look at the screen all the time, I tried to type very slowly to see if I tap on a button by accident, but then it never happens.

    If anyone knows if it is a fault, all other computers that I use if I hit a wrong key, I just get a bad character not the cursor jump to a point prior to writing

    Hello

    I think you touch the keyboard as you type and so the cursor jumps to another post.

    Therefore, you must disable the tapping function in the touchpad driver. After that, you can only use the touchpad for moving the mouse but not for the left clicking (tapping) more.
    Check Control Panel > mouse > advanced settings.

    Here, you can disable this feature.

  • OS sound produce a high-pitched noise (M70-160) + keyboard cursor jumps

    Hello everyone,

    I own a satellite M70-160 for about a year. There are two problems:
    (a) 15 days ago all the sounds of the o/s (for example when windows start/end, wheel etc) no longer works properly and began to produce a high-pitched noise. It's extremely annoying. I downloaded the realtek soundmax which only temporarily solves the problem. Now every time I have reinstall, when sound is shut down it works fine, but then again when I restart the computer it is working properly.
    In addition this problem disappears and appears periodically and it seems that most of the o/s sound time is malfunctioning.

    (b) when I type fast in keyboard cursor jumps into other lines or bar tasks or made the selection of text etc. as there is a kind of shortcut (this problem is not related to the first as it appeared from the beginning).

    I shouldn't forget to mention that I installed almost every new driver (might have missed one or two but it is highly unlikely)

    Thank you very much

    Giorgos

    Hello

    (a) I have the same unit, but so far I didn't notice something like that. If this happens regularly, it makes the not so easy diagnosis. Try to test with different volume levels and also with headphones.
    (b) key combination while typing to disable using FN + F9 touchpad. Maybe you touch touchpad with your hand while typing so fast.

    The last option you can try is updated BIOS. If you want to do this please READ the document how to do this.

  • Equium A200 1 HR - cursor jumps in text unexpectedly every few minutes

    Immediately after the delivery of my Equium last summer, I noticed that the cursor jumped unexpectedly back sometimes. Does not seem to matter if it's a Word text or email. Contacted Toshiba support Northern and got after the answer:

    * According to our phone call I send you hereby the download link. Just click on the link and choose 'run '. Then reboot your PC and try again the function.

    But the problems persist. I'm a pretty fast typist, which may explain why more people are not a problem (?). And when I don't need to look at the keys as I type, the risk is, of course, my cursor jumps into my text without my noticing for several sentences... enough frustrating!

    Anyone experienced this? Other solutions?

    OK, I know what the problem is.

    The Synaptics touchpad does not include what is called a palm-control more. They abandoned their driver software. For some reason that I can't quite understand yet.

    I do the same thing as you. I plant away on my keyboard only to realize that the text is inserted to midway up.

    Palm control is basically a delay on the pavement, listening to your finger pressure. It is said to the computer when I type don't let my tap-click my cursor for a half second pad (or something like that). I got it on my other old computer manufacturer and it is very convenient for crash-away-typists like us.

    I learned to type by looking at the keyboard and likes it that way. This worsens the problem more by me not noticing for a long time the cursor jumped.

    Tonight, I am furious and went to Synaptics to know why they passed control of palm of new driver software. They do not treat Joe Public like me and you. Only the big boys.
    In short, we have Toshiba to return to Synaptics and solve this problem. Which brings me here, who found your post.

    The support guy who sent you this file I guess that did not really understand or put it down to a single driver (or other) corruption. We have already installed and reinstall it won't help.
    So I know your problem is the same as mine.

    Now, I went with the extras in the driver. Vista seems to hang bits of software. According to me, it's why the palm-check isn't there anymore. The software throws just an error indicating that you need a Synaptics touchpad to run this. A bit like a serial number of equipment to stop no Synaptics customers using their juicy software.

    I really don't see Synaptics file form of verification of the palm software. But this is only speculation. They can do what they want with their software.

    My best guess is the driver components running in the new Vista like they think that. Who stops at the palm working, check that gives us our little bug.

    I know that vista puts things in the registry at different locations and the additional bits are looking for Synaptics reg - key allow its use. Who are there, but in the wrong place.

    I'll send it to Toshiba Support now and lets hope they can get it fixed.
    I guess that if you went back and said, this does not solve what they would have degenerated until someone figured this out. If this isn't the support guys fault entirely.

    PS My mouse jumped about a dozen times during typing it yourself. The A200 is such a beautiful little machine. This seems a silly thing to mess it up.

  • Portege M780-102 cursor jumps erratically around while typing

    Just got my new Portege 780-102.
    But irregularly, the cursor jumps around when typing in any application.
    (.. .and no, this isn't my sleeve brushing the mouse pad)

    Search the Web...
    Seems that Toshiba portable computers have a bit of a history with this type of problem .

    There is a suggestion that I have to re - charge the pack of bluetooth applications.
    Try to talk to Toshiba tech.support in the United Kingdom, but they are on a holiday.

    Has anyone else had the same problem and have you known the problem solutions?

    Hi mate

    I read on this issue of cursor on the different laptop models (from different manufacturers).
    But in most cases, the users didn't note that the touchpad was accidentally while typing of touchpad.
    You said you checked this hmm but in any case, try to disable the touchpad while typing just for test purposes

    In addition, some have said that the BIOS update can also be useful
    So if the most recent BIOS is available, updated it!

  • 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.

    Device: HTC Vision Android 2.2 (= HTC Desire Z in North America)

    This is a bug that will be fixed in the RC version. If you're OK with putting on the installation from "unknown sources" in the application settings. The nightly build will have this work http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android-r7/fennec-4.0b6pre.multi.eabi-arm.apk else use the software keyboard to this release.

  • 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.

    So when I type a line of text I then start another line below and then without reason, that the text cursor jumps to the top line. This inserts text in the wrong place, which is incredibly annoying!

    Any help or ideas greatly appreciated!
    Thesis writing will be more months if the problem persists! :)

    Here is the solution I've used and displayed a few threads down...

    Under the properties of the mouse, click on the "Advanced" tab, click on the pointer speed and Tapping settings, in the new screen click setting Tapping, on this screen, check the box that says disable Tapping during the key entry.

    You will suffer is not since the Cursur jump you met more...

  • Cursor jumps periodically on Portege M700

    Can anyone propose a resolution to a problem I have?

    While I'm typing, the cursor jumps periodically around on the screen. This means that a moment I'm on a particular line, the next I'm inserting text in a line somewhere else in the document.

    It is a defective machine or is this a "feature" of the M700?

    Before you start typing disable TouchPad by using the FN + F9 key combination. I do the same.
    Try it. I hope that the slider will not jump around again.

  • Satellite A100-165; while typing the cursor jumps to the other place

    Hello

    When I write with the keyboard sometimes the cursor jumps to another location.
    Just this moment, he jumped at the entrance of 'topic' of wire.
    It's pretty random where he jumps but very annoying, I'm running a Toshiba satellite a100 165;

    Anyone got any ideas of what this could be?

    Hello

    I had the same problem
    I t has not noticed that I touched the surface of touchpad accidentally while typing.

  • Re: Mouse cursor jumps all over the documents on Satellite

    Bought my Satellite in August 08. Cursor jumps all over the document, a spreadsheet, or a text document.
    I saw messages that the problem existed on Toshibas in 2002!

    How to solve this problem?
    How can this company having the same problem since 65 years?
    I would not buy another Toshiba.

    Help.

    > How this company may have the same problem since 65 years?
    Nice and funny statement. Really funny. I don't me remember more that this computer has developed there is 65years :D

    First of all, it would be really useful if post you a few details on your OS and your laptop model

    Secondly, I have read similar questions might appear if you accidentally touch the surface of the touchpad while typing. That is why it s advisable to disable the touch pad using the FN + F9 key and to check if this problem still persists.

    Last but not Lea check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS. If this isn't the case, then update it!

    Good bye
