Has anyone experienced this problem?????
Whilst typing in any application, pressing certain keys
the cursor moves to different locations in a document
There seems to be no regular pattern to this.
Basicaly I am typing away and when I look at the screen I
see that the cursor has moved to another completely
different part of the document, overwriting or adding to
what I have already typed.
Any help or suggestions relating to this problem would be
GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt (a very frustrated user!)

I, too have experienced this problem. Are you using a
laptop with the touchpad enabled? although i am not 100%
for certain, i think that bumping the pad "clikcs" and
moves your cursor. i changed the setting under "mouse
options" in the control panel that turns off the tapping
option whilst you are typing. turn the "delay after last
key hit' up, a lot. this has basically cured the problem,
but just watch where you rest your thumbs while typing!

hope this helps
