• my cursor jumps again post while typing which makes typing it very difficult

  installing updates and hope that a solution could be included

  You are using a laptop with a touchscreen?  Chances are good that you accidentally touch the touchpad while typing, and that moves the cursor.  Go to start / Control Panel / mouse and see if there are controls for adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad or to disable the touchpad while typing.  Go to the web site of the manufacturer of your and download the latest device drivers, firmware, and software for touchpad you and your mouse (if you also have a mouse - you may have to go the manufacturer of the mouse for these drivers, if she did not come with the system).  New updates can offer options that did not exist before like the ones I mentioned.

  This happened to me also and I bought a separate mouse and disabled the touchpad and the problem disappeared - but he had me past for awhile until I finally figured it out by typing differently (with my hands up higher so the Palms do not touch and had no problem).  Even if this isn't the problem, update the drivers, firmware or software can solve the problem on its own.

  If none of the works above, we will need either to run a complete troubleshooting procedures (post back and I'll meet with them) or the touchpad or mouse is defective and must be replaced.  You can discuss these last with the computer manufacturer when you talk to them (if you talk to them).

  I hope this helps.  If you have any questions along the way, come back and I'll do my best to answer.

  Good luck!

• Cursor jumping around while typing of text.

  Original title: why you (Microsoft) ignore the fact that the cursor jump around for text entry is a global problem that occurs on several platforms and applications?  It is not a problem of mouse and you know it.

  UH well?

  Hi Ony Parsons,

  1. What is the brand and model of your system?

  We met this problem and most of the time that this can happen on laptop and when you increase the sensitivity of the touchpad.

  You can try to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad and see if it helps.

  Some options may vary depending on the touchpad software you are using.

  a. click on "Start" and click on "Control Panel."

  b. double-click "mouse". The "Mouse properties" window opens.

  c. go to the tab "device settings". Click on "settings".

  d. examine the left panel of the 'Properties' window and expand the "sensitivity". Click on "Sensitivity to touch."

  e. reduce tactile sensitivity in moving the slider to the right, to the label of "heavy touch. Experiment with different levels of sensitivity until find you one suited to your needs.

  f. click "OK" to close the "Properties" window Repeat the operation with the control panel "mouse". Your new touchpad sensitivity settings are now saved.

  You can also consult the following article:

  Change the settings of the mouse

  Hope this information is useful.

• What is the cause of the movement of the erratic cursor at random points while typing?

  Most often occurs when you type in Word 2010 and emails, but also occurs just by filling in the fields of online forms.

  Using a laptop? If so, you are probably accidentally brushing your hand against the touchpad while typing.

• Satellite R850 - cursor moves at random while typing

  I use this R850 because it was provided by the work.
  I found it almost as frustrating as the HP, I got to my previous job... and it's for the same reasons!

  -The cursor moves randomly, then when typing I find I type completely in the wrong place.
  -It removes random pieces of my work - particularly frustrating on a web page where there is no "undo" button
  -When you use functions like drag in the editor, or highlight text, the touchpad is not always cooperative.
  -Some random/spaces etc. letters do not occur despite proper pressure.

  Quite frankly, it takes too much time to do things and I want to throw out of a dam in a deep lake.

  No liquid has been spilled on it.
  Are no crumbs in the keyboard.
  This seems to be a defective product as the "HP Elitebook" I got last year!

  This happened to me because I accidentally touched the touchpad while typing.
  In my case I could solve this annoying problem issue but the option settings: disable the touchpad while typing.

  This setting should be available in Control Panel-> mouse-> avancΘs

  The other option is to disable the touch pad using the function key

• 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.

• 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.

• The cursor moves erratically even when no mouse connected

  I've had the problem for over a year now, but I never received tour to report. From time to time, my cursor moves erratic around the screen, jumping from position every few seconds. I have a MBP, but often use it plugged on a screen and mouse etc with the lid closed. The problem persists if Setup like that, even when the external mouse is disconnected, or when simply use it as a laptop. I recently wiped the hard drive and reinstalled a clean copy of Mac OS x from zero (no backup), but the problem still persists.

  Any ideas?

  Looks like a hardware problem. How old is this MBP? Sometimes, when they get older, the battery may start to inflate and put pressure on the trackpad.

• Guard cursor jumping around while I type

  Original title: keyboard

  I type some words and all of a sudden, I noticed that the cursor jumps back and I find myself typing in the middle of my sentence.

  It took me like 5 minutes just for this type. She tends to jump back only (not really before?) and its so annoying.

  Has anyone encountered this situation and what solution did you find?

  Thank you

  Hello.

  Using a laptop?

  In many cases when people feel things like that, it's because they rest their arms on or around the touchpad and touch accidentally while typing. Try typing something and don't forget to keep your arm clear of the touchpad to see if it has an effect any.
