Typing Text issue
When I type an e-mail message or text in a webpage text area, or even a text
document in Notepad or another Text Editor, the cursor jumps time to time to different places around the text, so I need to return it to the text end every time. May it be Laptop Trackpad related or Win settings? What to do to prevent cursor jumping? |

Therefore, do your best to clean both the keyboard & mouse & trackpad. There was more matted hair under my keys than on my head, but I really suspect it is your mouse at fault. Untangle its wire as well. Best also update defs & run a virus scan, but that wasn't what did similar to me. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR |

It may be in Control Panel, or it may be accessed via an icon ion the tray next to the clock. Make sure any setting to "jump" to anywhere is disabled. You may need to turn off the option to tap the trackpad for a click (use the buttons instead). Your sleeve or the heel of your hand may be grazing the touchpad while you type, causing it to move and click; hence the suggestion to disable clicking via the pad itself rather than the buttons below it. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ |

Glee
The laptop Touchpad Pointer Motion is set to Slowest, and there is no option to disable its buttons, only switch it ON or OFF. I like using it, but I didn't notice touching it with sleeves. May be just moving too close. However, when the pointer is moved, an extra click is required to fix it in a new position. I definitely didn't click on it, hence there must be something else, unless the typing sequence is too fast at times to be recognized properly. |
