Re: Satellite L550-113 - cursor jumps on the Page

I bought a Satellite L550-113 two weeks ago.

The laptop works well enough - except for one of the major problems:

Whenever I type text, my cursor flies all over the screen. Whenever I search in the keys, I find that the cursor is not where it is supposed to be. So, I constantly replace text.
The machine came with Vista, but I ordered the "free" Windows 7 upgrade He is yet to come (two weeks on; must come through pigeons - so the thirty quid postage costs).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards

Rich

Hello rich

This can happen if you touch the touchpad when writing. Before starting to write something to disable the touch pad using the FN + F9 key combination.

  • Adjusting Brightness and contrast on the Satellite L550-113

    I am a user with low vision and I think buy the Satellite L550-113, but before I do that I need to be sure that the adjustable screen brightness/contrast very easily, preferably through the orders of material as opposed to via the control panel. I also need to make sure that we can do (i.e. too dull for a non-disabled user) rather dull screen.

    Could someone give advice on how to adjust the screen contrast and brightness on Toshiba L550-113? In addition, the screen has a glossy or matte finish?

    General information about the quality and ease of use of the screen will be very useful and much appreciated! Thank you.

    Hi mate!

    Yes, the brightness of the screen can easily adjust via the FN keys. You have to press FN + F7 to increase the screen brightness and FN + F6 to decrease the brightness of the screen. In addition, in Vista power management you can also adjust the brightness of the screen and save settings for profiles of different powers and block or power mode.

    AFAIK Satellite L550 has a brightness screen like any other portable satellite.

    I hope I could help a bit! :)

  • 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!

  • 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.

    2. what security software is installed on the computer?

    3. the problem occurs in Notepad too?

    4. What are the file types of the documents that you use?

    Method 1.

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if that 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

  • 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.

    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.
