Cursor jumping!

[ABQlawyer]

How do I prevent the cursor from jumping to another line?

Are you on a laptop by chance?

Hi JoAnn

I have the same problem and I am on a laptop. What is the reason this
happens on a laptop and how can it be avoided? It can be very annoying.

You could be touching the touchpad. Watch for cuffs, etc brushing agains the
keyboard.

If you go into the Touchpad setup utility, you can alter the sensitivity of
the touchpad or even disable the tap-to-click function completely. But what
is happening is that the touchpad is 'receiving' a click instruction from an
inadvertent brushing with your cuff or something similar therefore moving
the active edit point to the cursor - wherever that happens to be at the
time.

Thank you. that does seem to correspond to what is happening on my
notebook.

That seems to be the case in darned near 100% of all of the posts we get
with that issue.
