    Hi,

    Noticing more and more that while typing in any application, my cursor tends to jump sporadically backwards to previously written text.

    Anyone else experience this and know what to do to fix it?

    Thx

    I've noticed cursor jumps when my hand hits the mouse pad area below the keyboard. You can turn this off with (I think its shift-F3 or F4) whichever key has the little mouse icon on it. You will see green text thay says "Internal pointing device disabled". Do it again to re-enable. ; You would then need an external mouse to take over. OR - you can try not to hit the built in mouse pad.

    this happened when i bought my toshiba, it was remedied by adjusting the sensitivity of the touch pad...i just don't know where this was exactly.....maybe I can find out.......
    but it can be fixed.
